Cycling is more environmentally friendly than other forms of transport. Why is it not popular in many places? And how to increase its popularity?

In light of global warming and the rising level of pollution, using eco-friendly means of transport especially bicycle is greatly encouraged by authorities as well as conservationists. However, it is not favored by many people due to various reasons and there are some viable solutions that governments can adopt to support cycling.
The unpopularity of bicycle can be attributed to several underlying causes. The key rationale is that using bikes consume a large amount of time to travel from a place to another on daily basis, which can affect people’s work and other activities. In particularly, long-distance commuters whose offices are located in bustling areas may encounter difficulties with arriving at their own companies on time. Another reason is that nowadays people are less likely to pay attention to the harms which can be inflicted to their surroundings. In other words, they generally do not forego the privilege of driving their own vehicles and switch to cycling in order to partly purify the atmosphere. Therefore, it is understandable that in some places, bicycles are not preferred.
However, governments can take several steps to cultivate this green habit. First and foremost, environmental campaigns should be promoted to raise people’s awareness of the positive contribution that cycling can make to their residential areas. For example, environmentalists can indicate that deterioration of air quality caused by the emissions from personal cars can pose an imminent threat to people’s health. Moreover, states can set stringent regulations accompanied with holding competitions to encourage people to cycle to work at least one day per week. Da Nang perfectly exemplifies this solution. Local authorities usually require citizens to use bikes at weekends, forming a good habit and making them more responsible for environmental protection.
In conclusion, despite the advantages cycling can bring to environment, it is not highly appreciated. Therefore, governments should take proposed measures to urge their citizens to use bikes more frequently.
