- Yes, because it’s fun, good for health, and doesn’t cost a lot.
- Well, I like to ride bikes for a few reasons. The main reason I like riding bikes is that I think it is a really fun and it is a good way to go sightseeing. I’d also like to point-out that riding a bike is very good for my health because it can help me to lose weight. I would also like to add that recently I have not been able to ride my bike much, as I am quite busy at work.
