promoted

The authorities have
been urged to take proactive measures to promote cycling in the city in view
of the drastic increase in fuel prices. Special lanes could be provided for
bicycles, including parking space for them. This is also a good way to
promote cycling. In some big cities like Tokyo, cycling has become part of
their culture.
If more people take
to cycling, there will be less traffic congestion in cities. In fact, there
will be fewer motorized vehicles on the road and this means less noise and
air pollution. More school children will be cycling to school rather than
depend on school buses, private cars or motorcycles. Moreover, cycling is a
healthy activity besides conserving the environment indirectly.

Summary: Cycling should be
promoted in cities to fight the rising fuel cost. Special lanes and parking
areas should be provided. With more people cycling, there will be less
motorized traffic and less pollution. This will help promote a healthy activity
and indirectly conserve the environment.
