My Reactions:
A new bicycle rental service in Paris and it is popular among the citizens.
In my view, renting bicycle is a very nice program in urban areas. The reason is that it is convenient for people to get to other places since there are a lot of stations around the city. Besides, the main purpose of this program is to improve the traffic and pollution. In fact, mankind has been causing damage to the ozone layer since the start of the Industrial Revolution, and the global warming threat is causing more and more problems. Therefore, to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide is the most effective action to preserve the environment.
In addition, the mayor has said that he hope this idea can help Parisians and tourists enjoy the city by bicycle. I think this can become a big attraction in Paris. But for one thing, the government has to insure traffic safety by revising the law to require helmet wearing.
Personally, I think the service can also be popularized in Asia, especially in some of the country where the traffic is very heavy during rush hour. it can encourage people to ride on bicycle instead of driving car and relieve the traffic jam.
