Bicycle: A source of eradicating pollution

by Hassan Nasir | 30-09-2018 23:03


Majority of the vehicles are the source of emitting carbon at drastic level .Air pollution is increasing day by day at a rapid level. For instance, car is one of the most comfortable vehicles to commute but unlike its few benefits it has badly affected our cleaner environment. According to United States Environmental Protection Agency an ordinary vehicle emits 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year .In contemporary period we have heavily relied on the sources that gives us comfort whether it be at the cost of damaging our precious environment.

 

As far as bicycle is concerned, its history dated back to 19th century when the short race was organized in 1868 in Paris. Bicycling is healthy activity for human beings to the extent that it makes our environment a cleaner environment .It was estimated that in USA one third of the carbon dioxide is emitted from motorized sports vehicle. To share with you, US 50% of the car trips are less than 2 miles yet only 1% is covered through bicycle.

 

It would be appropriate to say that cycling is not the only choice although if concept of safe cycling is introduced then we can reap the benefits of cleaner and healthier environment. Along with curbing the directions for carbon dioxide to scatter in our precious environment, culture of using bicycle for commutation can also reduce the disease of obesity .It is reported by National Institute of Health that 3,00,000 deaths per year are due to overweight epidemic. Due to the excessive use of cycling, you can burn your calories at a greater level and make your muscles stronger.

 

The economic cost of cycle is low compared to the vehicle because the latter consumes fuel while the former requires human output of peddling. Cycling is cheap to an extent that buying a bicycle is not expensive when compared with motor vehicle. The good thing about cycle is its damages can be overcome easily unlike vehicles for they require lot of maintenance.


 The need of an hour is ultimately the use of bicycle for shorter tips. If we keep on spreading the culture of cycling than surely we will reap the benefits of cleaner and healthier environment.
