Topic: Fewer and fewer people choose walking and cycling on a daily basis.           What are the reasons and how to encourage them to spend their time walking or cycling ?

In the modernized society of today, the health is always a concern of many people, walking and cycling seem to be two of the best ways to improve and train our health better. However, these good activities for health are not more and more interested and chosen as a daily individual activity. Obviously, there are enormous reasons to explain for this one. In this easy, I will provide some reasons and ways to foster the people who need to spend their time for walking or cycling activities.

There are many appropriate reasons of lower number of walker. Firstly, the availability and accesibility of transport systems in the developed city. In specific, buses, taxis, undergrounds, electric escalators are ubiquitous; therefore, the desire of walkers and bikers is declined. Furthermore, the society is more and more modernized making people to spend most of their time for working. In fact, they can not participate in a football team after an exhaustingly working day or wake up early to do exercise if they had to working all last night. Lastly, the most popular reason is that facilities for walkers and bikers are not fully invested. Pecisely/certainly/, it is extremely hard to walk under the baking sunshine if there is no trees’ shadow; besides, sidewalks are occpied, no resting termials.

With reasons below, the encouragement for individual walking or cycling is extremely necessary. Initially, government should redesign the city center with facilities for travelling on foot or bike. In specific, building private lanes for predestrians or bikes, projecting for greening the city to prvide more natural shadow. What is more, the local authority should also offer incentive policies to office workers who commute by walking or cycling. As an example, giving them holiday packages or associating facilities for travelling and cycling in working places.

Besides, there are also many other feasible approaches to be adapted particularly for walking. For example, walking streets should be added more social events and activities with the main purpose to boot the excitement of walking. Moreover, the media is the best ways to spread and recommend healthy walking lifestyle. As a result, we can avoid many harmful diseases such as obesity, heart attack and improve energy, vitamin D.

In conclusion, the shortage of people who choose walking and cycling on a daily basis is more and more popular with various reasons. However, the health is one of the most precious things of people; therefore, it can not deny that the encouragement for individual walking or cycling is excessively important. I recommend that the government should invest more positvely in the sectors which relate to walking and cycling and each self – people must have a sense about ourselves health.
