Hi, everyone, I’m Jane. Two years ago, my husband bought me a bicycle. If you live in a town, it is often faster than a car and you don’t have to worry about parking. You can leave it anywhere. As it has a seat at the back and a basket in the front, I can take my small daughter to school, to the library, to the shops, and to anywhere.
I use it most in summer when the weather is warm and dry. It can be very unpleasant in winter when it is cold and the snow is heavy. Of course, you must be careful on a bicycle. Accidents are not the only problem. One day I went shopping with my friends. But when I came back, I found that my bike’s front wheel was missing. It was a long walk to the bicycle shop. Now I have three strong locks(鎖).
My husband uses my bicycle sometimes for short journeys. He says it is better than waiting for a bus. He still uses his car for longer journeys, but I think that all the sitting down is making him fat and lazy. I like riding on my bicycle because I can exercise a lot and get much fresh air, and this makes me feel much younger.
