Car vs. Bicycle Have you decided about which transportation you want to ride on? In the world, the climate is getting warmer than before. People should decide which transportation they should get it. People now days know that the fossil fuel and burning gas can make the world to get warmer. We, the people know that the ozone layer. We know that burning fossil fuel can destroy the ozone layer. If the ozone layer destroys, the world will get warmer and warmer and the people might die. We, people should decide which transportation we should use. We have to choose the right transportation to use. I’m going to tell the different between car and bicycle. The first thing that I’m going to tell the different between car and bicycle is about their cost. As we know, the car is more expansive then the bicycle. “As we are purchasing a car, it will cost us at least RM15, 000 even for the cheapest car. It is very expensive whereby we need to spend large percentage of our income and save money for purchasing it” (Lee). The car can cost about $25,000. If we use car, we will spend lots of money. We will spend money for fuel. Now a days, maybe if we buy a gallon of gas can cost $7.00. Can you imagine how if the car use one gallon of gas per mile, and we drive about ten miles every day, how many money we will spend for gas? “Bicycles are usually being sold in a lower price whereby we can actually own one by using a few hundred ringgits. It is almost affordable by all the people” (Lee). I think, we will spend maybe $70 per day. What if the get into the garage how much money you will spend? Car is very expansive than the bicycle. Bicycle is cheap and it cost maybe $50. Bicycle doesn’t use fuel, which means you won’t spend money for gas because bicycle doesn’t use fuel. You can travel with a bicycle for many miles, but you won’t be able to pay for gas. Bicycle doesn’t use gas, so it won’t destroy the ozone layer. It can’t pollute the
