Cycling in Japan
Why do the Japanese cycle. Apart from cars, cycle is another means used by almost all people. Otherwise also Japanese are very adept in cycling. Cycling becomes an indivisible part of a child as soon as he attains the age of 3. Irrespective of class, from a mechanic to an affluent and opulent tycoon, all are accustomed to cycling from sunrise to midnight. Whereas, in Bangladesh, despite innumerable limitations, it is very unusual to see people biking unless he or she is compelled.
Cycling is much more convenient than driving a car; it creates less pollution and traffic; it is another way of saving fuel and gas. And Japanese people deem it waste of money on themselves when they can use it to help their country thrive. And in Bangladesh, people are pondering more about themselves than about their country. It's also healthy to bike. For example, the average longevity in Japan is at least 90 and many people are surpassing 100 while in Bangladesh people hardly make it to 70 years. Bangladeshis should use cycle to make the country a better place to live. For instance, we can keep the country free from pollution and traffic. The city dwellers can use cycles to cover short distances so that they don't have to sit in traffic hours after hours in hot weather inhaling the mephitic smoke produced by the vehicles. Also by this traffic could be reduced. Pollution is damaging the environment and causing global warming. That's one of the reasons why the temperature of Bangladesh is rising every year. So, to surmount all these problems we should use bicycles and by doing this we can make our country a clean, modest, and tourism friendly country. But of course we have to consider certain questions. For instance, where do we bike or, is it secure to bike at all?
