Ride Your Bike to School

1Do you walk, ride the bus, or ride a bike to school? I think more students should ride their bikes. Biking is a great choice for kids who live close to school. I have three reasons to explain why.

2One reason is that biking is good exercise. When you pedal, your legs get strong and your heart works hard. After a bike ride, you feel awake and ready to learn.

3Another reason is that biking is fun. You can ride with your friends and talk the whole way. The ride is a happy way to start the morning, and it gives you a good story to share at lunch.

4A third reason is that biking is good for the air. Bikes do not use gas, so they do not make smoke. Clean air is good for people, animals, and plants.

5In conclusion, students should ride bikes to school. Biking is good exercise, it is fun with friends, and it keeps the air clean. Why not give it a try?
