Live By Bike

 The article, “Live by Bike”, is an article written for the purpose of putting it out to the world that biking is a good alternative way of getting from one place to another. The article starts off about biking and how a man made a survey and the survey concluded numerous people enjoyed riding their bike and it actually made them happy. It also includes that biking is a growing mode of transportation around the world. The article continues to talk about new bike lanes, bike sharing programs, and how people are taking up biking as a way to save gas money. The article then ends with a list of positives of biking.

The article at hand did not have any effect on me as it stated many things any normal five year old would know. It included information that I already knew, less air pollution, good way to exercise, and adventurous. Though for the reader that doesn’t know much it would give them a positive outlook on biking. The article shares information on how the U.S has many bike safe lanes, how it can be an easy and great way to travel with families and places you could travel to on your bike. Overall the article may not have greatly impacted me, but it may be an excellent way to get a new biker on the road, and off into adventures.
