　　If I talk about the time when I was a child, the bicycle was the primary mean of travelling for people in my hometown.

Around 5-8 percentage people, these days in my hometown use this environment-friendly vehicle while it was more than 80% at a time.

　　2. How often do you ride a bicycle?

　　3. Do you think that bicycles are suitable for all ages?

　　騎車適合所有年齡么

　　6.Is it easy to ride a bicycle in your country?
