Persuasive Writing

Persuasive writing why we should ride bikes short distances

I strongly believe that people should ride bikes short distances instead of driving cars i will provide you with adequate reasons as to why you should ride bikes short distances instead of driving cars.

If you choose to ride a bike you don’t have to pay for gasoline or diesel because bikes are pedal powered. Bikes only cost around thirty to fifty dollars where cars cost thousands and thousands of dollars. A bike only weighs 10-15 pounds and cars weigh tons and tons. Bikes are environment friendly because they do not make fumes and pollute the air cars make fumes and carbon-dioxide and are part of the reason why there is global warming especially diesel cars.

Cars keep you warm on freezing cold days and on bikes you would have to wear layers of clothing and keep moving to stay warm. In cars they have up to seven seats and can hold passengers but bikes can only have up to two seats and those kinds of bikes cost lots of money. Bikes cannot hold many items where's cars can hold many items.

Cars might be able to hold more than bikes can but if you put things like satchel bags, baskets and where a bag you would be surprised how many items you could carry.

After reading this I hope you would consider riding a bike short distances instead of driving a car.
