Two years ago my husband bought me a bicycle. If you live in a town, it is faster than a car and you don't have to worry about parking. You can leave it anywhere. As my bike has a seat at the back and a basket at the front, I can take my small daughter to school, and go anywhere in fact.

　　　　I use it most in summer when the weather is warm and dry. It can be very unpleasant in winter when it is cold and it often rains. It can also be very dangerous（危险的）. Accidents（事故）aren't the only problem. One day I went shopping and came back to find my front wheel（车轮）lost. Now I have three strong locks（锁）.

　　　　My husband likes his car for long trips better, but I think all this sitting down is making him fat. On my bicycle I get a lot of exercise and fresh air, and cycling（骑自行车）makes me feel a lot younger.
