  Recently there has been something of a recovery in cycling, and in many areas it is a very useful way of getting around, especially where bike routes have been built.You may well want to buy, hire or borrow a bike.

  There are two important results of this earlier drop in cycling in the USA.One is that many people do not know how to cycle.That is, cyclists often behave more like walkers than motorists:they ride in the sidewalk or on the wrong side of the road; they do not care for stop signs or traffic lights; they ride without lights at night; they give no signals.

  The other result is that cycling is regarded by many people not so much as a way of getting from one place to another but as way of life, a form of exercises, etc.As a result, large numbers of young Americans have ten-speed racing bikes.These are very high and fast and great if you are cycling long distance, riding up mountains or racing.At first, though, you may find them convenient for cycling in town, sightseeing or shopping-they are expensive, uncomfortable and hard to control until you get used to them, and unsuitable for rough stony roads.

  There are also ordinary bikes around.If you get hold of one of these, you may find that brakes work by pedaling(踩踏板)backwards.This is perhaps safer than ordinary brakes when it is wet, but it seems to be less effective.This arrangement also means you can’t pedal backwards in order to get the pedal in the right place for getting off.

Cycling is not considered a way of transportation.

D.

People have to pedal backwards to stop the bike.

[  ]

A.

many Americans enjoyed cycling

B.

cycling was popular outside America

C.
