A For and Against Essay by Clàudia Cabau

Advantages and disadvantages of using a bike as a means of transport 

Nowadays one of the most usual things in our society is to travell all around the world. We love the holidays, so we can travel every place we want. But in the usual days, days when we have to go to school or to go to work, we use the car, or also the motorbike. And my question is: Do we really need to use these means of transport, or we can use an ecofriendly mean of transport, like a bike?

There are some advantages of changing the car for the bike. The most important, of course, is that the bike don't pollute the environment, and we can't say the same thing about the car or the motorbike. In addition, using the bike is an excelent way to get fit and avoid common problems like obesity or cardiovascular issues.

In spite of these advantages, there are some negative things abouts the bike. It's only useful if we have to go in near places, and it's probably that when we arribe we'll feel tired if we aren't fit enought. Consecuently, the bike can't be used in all the situations. 

To sum up, I belive that the advantages are more important than the disadvantages. We must take care of the environment and using an ecofriendly mean of transport like the bike (when it's possible), is one thing that we can do.
