I think bicycle is a good transportation to substitute petroleum-using transportation. According to reports, most European countries such as Barcelona, Munich, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam are biking paradise. In Copenhagen, 35% of the people ride bike to work every day according to a report in 2013. Most cities have their own innovations to promote biking environment. If I am the mayor of a city, I will construct very broad biking lane with powerful protection facilities. This will make people who want to ride bikes but afraid of safety problems start to bike. Most people refuse to ride bicycles for work because of the long distance between their home and the working spot, especially in the U.S. To fix this, the public transportation will need to be improve. I will make more train lines and better train condition to encourage more people to take public transportations. It is not enough to only change the physical conditions to make people ride bikes, it is also impo rtant to mentally influence people so that they will love to go biking. I will put more advertisement into the media to promote healthy, environment-friendly, and sustainable ideas.

i want to move to your city, mayor Jacky!

i like your idea, considering it would also be useful for people who have Asthma or other such diseases.

Hi, I am Rebecca form China. I really like your points. Riding bike is very eco-friendly and helpful on solving traffic jam. On the weekend, I often use public transportations like subway instead of driving car. But the problem is not everyone like changing. For example, people in China think cars is a symbol of rich. So almost every adult want to drive car. Also there are few bicycle path in China. People who live in city don't have enough path to ride. So I am going to do something to try to change their mind. I want to do some small documentary online to courage people to ride bike. However I know this is not enough(＞﹏＜), So can you give me some suggestions?
