(A) low efficiency of bicycles
Although bicycles can save energy and reduce emissions, not only protect the environment, but also exercise, but now the fast-paced life makes more people pursue high efficiency. For them, cycling is not only slow, but also laborious. Compared with bicycles, electric cars are more useful. Whether it is a family electric car, or the emergence of motorcycles such as the Pinecone Tour and Hellobike, it has greatly facilitated people. Take me for example, there are many public bicycles and electric cars at the school gate, but no one will choose bicycles. Those motorcycles are particularly popular. Last time I went home, I passed by my high school alma mater. At the school gate, all bicycles are parked in rows, but now they have been replaced by many motorcycles.
(2) Bicycles are not suitable for long-distance travel.
Bicycle is a good choice for places near the destination, but it is not very popular for some distant places. Both electric cars and automobiles have greatly improved efficiency and speed. For a simple example, if we are going to Tibet, more people will choose more convenient means of transportation than bicycles, and few people will go to Tibet by bike.
(3) There are better substitutes for bicycles.
With the slow development of society, bicycles are no longer a necessity for families. It has a better substitute, and various means of transportation emerge one after another. Cars, electric cars, planes, trains, subways, high-speed trains, etc. have become our first choice for travel, and bicycles are slowly being replaced.
(d) Bicycles are not as simple as other means of transportation.
Bicycle is a difficult means of transportation to learn, and it is difficult for inexperienced people to master it, while other means of transportation are very simple to operate and more popular with us.
Bicycles also represent an era. Many people choose not to buy bicycles because they want to choose a more convenient means of transportation.
