Bicycles Are Allowed on the Sidewalk in Many Cities Around the World. Do You Think This

154

Bicycles are allowed on the sidewalk in many cities around the world. Do you think this is a good rule or a bad rule? Use specific reasons and details to support your position.

I think this is a bad rule. Many elderly people fear the bicycles which run at a surprising speed on the sidewalk. If people care about other people and run carefully on the sidewalk, bicycles should be allowed on the sidewalk. However, some people runwithout careon the sidewalk and frighten other people. If bicycles are not allowed on the sidewalk, it would become dangerous to ride bicycles in some places such as narrow mountain roads. But, we have a choice to walk in such places, and it would be possible to allow bicycles on the sidewalk only in such dangerous places. It’s on these grounds that I think this is a bad rule.(115 words)

I think that it is a good rule that bicycles are allowed on the sidewalk.

This is because it is too dangerous for some people to ride bicycles on the road.

If people cannot ride bicycles very well, they may have traffic accidents.

Moreover drivers may have traffic accidents to avoid running people who are riding bicycles unsteadily over.

However, it is true that riding bicycles on the road endangers pedestrians.

So I think that it is a good rule that bicycles are allowed on the sidewalk.

But people who ride bicycles have to be careful not to endanger pedestrians.(100words)

This is because it is too dangerous for some people to ride bicycles on the road.

If people cannot ride bicycles very well, they may have traffic accidents.

Moreover drivers may have traffic accidents trying to avoid running over the people who are riding bicycles unsteadily over.

However, it is true that riding bicycles on the road endangers pedestrians.

So, whileI think that it is a good rule that bicycles arebicycles should be allowed on the sidewalk.,

But people who ride bicyclesI also think that bicyclists have to be careful not to endanger pedestrians.

I think this is a bad rule. There are two reasons for this opinion.

First, it is sometimes dangerous to ride a bicycle on the sidewalk because there are many people on the sidewalk, including children or elderly people.

And children or elderly people tend to be careless.

Therefore, these people are often involved in serious accidents due to bicycles on the sidewalk.

Second, there is sometimes a difficulty in going through the sidewalk by bicycle

because people are walking side by side at times.

In this situation, a person who rides a bicycle may feel irritated with these people, and it occasionally causes a quarrel or fight.

For these reasons, I think bicycles should be forbidden on the sidewalk.(120 words)

I think the rule that bicycles are allowed on the sidewalk is bad. I think riding bicycles on the sidewalk makes it difficult for people to walk on the sidewalk. Sidewalks are not designed to be so wide. So, when bicycles are approaching, pedestrians often have to stop walking and get out of the way in order not to crash. It is really annoying and dangerous. In addition, I think the manner of those who ride bicycles is getting worse. Riding bicycles forming rows is a good example. The bad manner makes it more risky to allow bicycles on the sidewalk. For these reasons, I think that the rule is bad.(112 words)

I cannot say this is either a good rule or a bad rule. Generally, bicycles are required to run on the roadway by law. However, it is very dangerous because bicycles are much slower than cars. Actually, I have a dangerous experience that I was about to crash with a bicycle when driving a car. But it is also dangerous for bicycles to run on the sidewalk. There are many accidents in which bicycles bump into a pedestrian and sometimes kill him or her. Therefore, the best way to solve the problem is to build a new road for only bicycles. In fact, some countries like Germany and the Netherlands adopt the system.(113 words)

I think this is a good rule.
There are people who walk along a sidewalk and there are cars which drive on the roadway. If bicycles are not allowed on the sidewalk, bicycles have to be on the roadway. It is dangerous when there are a lot of cars. However, if it is allowed, drivers of bicycles are able to choose which course they go. They should choose the course where cars or pedestrians are small in number. If they do so in order not to hurt other people, traffic accidents by bicycles would decrease.
So I think allowing bicycles on the sidewalk is a better way.(107 words)

I think it is a good rule.

First, if bicycles are not allowed on the side walk, they must run on roads. But roads are for cars, so many cars run on roads at high speed. It is very dangerous for bicycles to run beside many running cars. Of course, if bicycle are allowed on the sidewalk, pedestrians may feel uneasy. Even so, to run beside pedestrians is less dangerous for bicycles than to run beside cars.

Second, while cars discharge much gas emissions, bicycles are not uncomfortable for pedestrians. So, pedestrians do not mind bicycles running beside them so much.

From the above, I think that bicycle should be allowed on the sidewalk.(114 words)

I think it is bad rule, though I don’t mean that we should ban this. Bicycles are now widely known as environmentally friendly transportation, because they don’t emit any pollutant. In addition to this, riding bicycle is good for our health. Many people around the world come to use bicycles when they commute. However, we have a problem on bicycle. We will be careful when we drive a car, because we know many people are killed in car accident. But we tend to forget how dangerous bicycles are. Many people are killed or injured in bicycle accident on the sidewalk. Therefore, we should be more careful and governments around the world should make new roadsexclusively for bicycles.(118 words)

I think that this is a bad rule. The reason is quite obvious: riding bicycles on the sidewalk is dangerous for walking people. Bicycles may be allowed in the cities where people seldom ride them, but must not be allowed in the cities where people often ride bicycles, such as Kyoto.
I don't mean that bicycles should pass on the road. Cars are much faster than bicycles are, so traffic accidents would increase in number. In certain areas in Kyoto, roads for walking people and roads for bicycles are separated. The latter are painted red so that people can recognize them. I suppose that this is the good rule.(109 words)
