Cycling isn’t always easy. Busy streets, honking horns(喇叭), and not enough bike lanes can make it an uphill battle. But not even these difficulties can stopEuropeans’ love for cycling. According to BBC, bicycles outsold cars in 26 of the European Union's 28 states last year.
There are traditional "bicycle capitals", such as Amsterdam in the Netherlands and Copenhagen in Denmark. But in many other traditionally car-made countries,the shift( 转变)to bikes is amazing. Italians, for instance, bought
1.6 million bikes against 1.4 million cars in 2012.
So what has led to cycling,s growing popularity in Europe?
The economic crisis(危机) has played an important role in the issue.”The economic crisis has had an influence on all areas of people's lives, including on transport” Giulietta Pagliaccio, head of the Italian cycling federation Fiab, told the Australian Associated Press.
Since the European debt crisis broke out in 2009, more people lost their job while the cost of living, including fuel costs, continued to rise. It forced many people to give up driving to save money, the Guangzhou-based New Express(《新快报》commented. Take Greece, a country seriously hit by the crisis, for example. It sold320,000 bikes last year against 58,000 cars.
More importantly, people have changed their views toward cars and bikes. Cars are losing their attraction as status( 地 位 ) symbols. Yet, cycling is now seen as"a safe clean, healthy, inexpensive way to get around town, "the Daily Star concluded. "It not only reduces traffic jams and pollution, but also contributes to public health."
However, with more and more people tuning to cycling, questions come up about traffic and safety problems.
To ease people's worries, quite a few cities now offer well-marked bike lanes such as the cycling super-highway marked in blue in London. Copenhagen, for example, it has spent 22 million euros (183 million yuan)in cycling, widening roads and building more parking places.
