Cycling is a beautiful sport. We hear it all the time. We enjoy it when we ride and race. But what is it that makes me love cycling so much? As a surfer, I would surf alone. Now and then I would see another surfer walking along the beach towards me and I would hope they would choose another place. Cycling is different. We can often go on group rides with friends.

Cycling contributes to the environment (环境). Bicycles don’t make any pollution (污染). If more and more people use bikes, there won’t be so much pollution.

Older people can cycle too. Grandpa Carl rides a tricycle. It has three wheels (轮子). He says it is safe. He can’t ride on a two-wheeled bicycle any more. He rides his tricycle to the shops and takes some bags with him. His tricycle has two baskets. He has one back basket to carry his shopping. Sometimes he cycles with this little dog in the front basket. Grandpa loves cycling. It is a bit slow, but he says it keeps him healthy.

People should use bikes whenever they can for their own health and the health of the earth.
