  2. The pros of renting a bike is that it’s a great way to get exercise. It does not waste any gas. I helps the environment. Plus every one can do it if you are not going anywhere that is far. Those are the pros of riding a bike.

    The cons are that you can’t ride them in the winter. You can’t go very far with a bike. For instance if you were going from Boston to Main which one would get you there faster a bike or a car. Those are the cons.

  3. The pros of riding a bike instead of riding a car is that you are helping the environment by riding a bike and unlike a car a bike doesn’t run on gas. Another one is that while you ride a bike you stay in shape and loose calories. Another thing is that while you ride a bike you don’t have to worry about spending money on gas.
    The cons of the article are you can’t travel to a far destination because you will become extremely tired. Another con is that you will lose too much energy and then you will need to regain that energy. And those are the pros and cons of riding a bike.

  4. Some good things about riding a bike instead of driving a car is that, you dont have to worry about running out of gas wich means you obviously dont pay for gas. And you dont have to stop for the red light. You can also go anywhere like the sidewalk for example if you want.

    Some bad things or cons about ridning a bike instead of driving car is that first off people look at you different if you are a grown man/woman riding a bike everywhere. With a bike your more in the open wich means your less safe than in a car. A car is faster than a bike. For the last part if it's cold outside than you riding a bike will b a bad idea when riding a car would be rather better.

  6. Pros – When you use a bicycle you don’t have to waste money on gas. The gas could stop polluting the air. Eventually we would breath clean air. On the contrary riding a bike can keep your legs strong and keep your heart healthy. Riding a bike is better than driving a car.

    Cons – When you ride a bike you could lose control. Often bike riders ride in any kind of weather outside and they might cause accidents. They also could get ammonia from it being so cold outside. So it’s better for bike riders to ride their bikes in the hotter weather and drive their cars in the colder weather. Cars do come in handy but bikes are better for healthy reasons and saving gas.

  7. The pro of bike riding are being able to save the planet because of less pollution. Riding bikes can make your bones stronger and keep you in shape. Bike riding benefits both your health and the planet. Bikes don’t need gas so there for you don’t have to spend extra money. Stronger bones and a cleaner planet make bike riding okay for me.

    The cons about riding a bike is, what if you had to go inside a grocery store to get some groceries? The store owner said that you had to leave your bike outside. You come outside and realize that your bike is stolen, now you have no way to get home. Another con about riding a bike is getting a flat tire it you continue to ride a bike on a flat tire you will just ruin the bike completely.

  10. The pros of riding a bicyle instead of using a car is that you get fit. Both your heart and your legs get in shape. When riding a bike, you also get the benefit of saving the world. There is less pollution from the buses and all the other types of transportation. These are the good things about riding a bicyle.
    The cons of riding a bicyle is the safety. A bicyle doesn't have that much steel and things on it to protect it. A car in the other hand, has airbags and other components to help you from not getting hurt.

  11. The pros of riding a bicycle instead of a car is that it’s better for the environment. Unlike cars, it doesn’t pollute the air with gasoline. Cars need gasoline and runs on it. The fumes would go into the air and pollute it. Like it said in the article, it’s good exercise. It works your heart muscle and your legs.

    The cons of riding a bike is that it’s hard to rent one. You would have to 40 dollars a day. It’s also more expensive to rent a bike then to rent a car. You also have to pay a fee for the bike. The fee is based on how many bikes you rent.

  12. There are many pros of riding a bike instead of using a car. One pro is that while reading your bike you are exercising your leg muscles. Another pro of riding a bike instead of using a car is that when you are riding your bike you do not use up energy. The third pro is that on a bike is that you could get out and feel the fresh air. The last pro of riding a bike instead of using a car is that you never have to worry about running out of gas. Those are some of the major pros to me.

    There are three cons that caught my attention. One of the three cons that caught my attention was that if you are trying to get to a far place it would take a long time. Another con of riding a bike instead of using a car is that you will get very tired quickly if you are trying to get to a far away place. The last con of riding a bike instead of using a car is that on a bike you will have to be careful going down hills. Those are some of the major cons that caught my attention.

  13. The pros of riding a bike instead of driving a car are that it’s good for your body and its good exercise. It helps with strengthening your leg muscles and its good for heart. Also, people have said that riding a bike gives you a chance to see the world.

    The cons of riding a bike is that everyday there is a chance of getting hurt during a bike ride. People can’t seem to get to the destination and for overweight people they wouldn’t be able to pedal fast or to pedal at all.

  16. The pros of renting a bike is that you wont spend a lot of money on gas. You will get a lot of exercise. If everyone rides a bike to go where they need to go. It helps the environment because it won’t Pulte the environment. If everyone rides a bike they can get where they need to go faster. Those are my pros.

    The cons of renting a bike are that when winter comes, how will you stay warm. Plus if you ride a bike in the winter there might be a chance of you getting hit because bikes don’t have lights. Also you can crash to something because you can get very distracted really fast. But if you get in a car aattcident the air bag will help to not get hurt. But the bike won’t protect you at all.

  19. PROS: The positive thing about riding a bike instead of driving a car is that there is less pollution in the air, because while gases is being put in the air when you turn on the engine, but then if you ride your bike you are not using any gases. Another pro about riding a bike it is that you can get excise and it helps build muscle. Also if you think about it bikes cost less then cars and no matter what season really you can ride a bike and when its winter you don’t have to worry about getting your bike unstuck unless you leave it outside.


    CONS: The con about a bike instead of a car is that cars drive faster then bikes and that you will not be as tired because you are not using as much muscle. Another con about riding a bike instead of a car is that when season comes it sucks because if it was winter you don’t have as much protection from the cold and you don’t have heat to keep you warm, or during summer times you don’t have a place to keep cool unlike a car which has A.C.

  20. The Pros and Cons of bike riding

    Bike riding could be a very good thing to do because it is a good exercising treat. It is also good because it is better to get around faster instead of running or walking. The best thing is that you exercise as you get around somewhere unlike driving, it brings you places and gives you a work out. The pros of bike riding can be simple to list, or not. The last thing that is pretty good about bike riding is there is no cost, no gas, no bills, nothing you just buy a bike and get on with your life.

    The Cons of bike riding are easy to list. One con is that the getting around you can get around but I don’t believe it is as fast as you will need it to. The way the bikes work is you cant have somewhere to be in a hurry. Maybe bikes are better to ride in a park or you can get around with them. Those are the cons of bike riding.
