They say once you learn how to ride a bike, you never forget. Most of us learnt when we were kids, and many still put on our helmets, and shoot off for a ride around the streets. So the question is, what makes it so appealing to people to ride their bikes once again?
Cycling can improve your cardiovascular（心血管的）health and burn excess body fat. It can strengthen your leg muscles. And cycling's benefits aren't just physical, but mental as well. A long ride in the countryside could help you to clear your mind, or de-stress. But it's not only about your body and mind-there are also some plus sides for your wallet's health.
Cycling can be a great way to commute（通勤）or get about town. By cycling, you save money on fuel or train fares. But finding somewhere to chain your bike up can be much simpler. Then, on the train, there are changes at stations and other commuters speaking loudly on their phones to deal with. And if you're worried about safety, there are designated cycle lanes （车道）in many major cities. Wearing high-visibility clothing is another way to improve your safety when cycling on the roads.
Cycling can also be good for the environment. Not pumping out fumes into the atmosphere is better for the planet and your own environment.
So, whether people want to cycle for their health, getting about town, their wallet, the environment, or a combination of all of them—the popularity of cycling is on the rise.
