handed back. A big F was written on top. I was hopeless. I was stupid ! My face burned with

Right in front of the Minneapolis Central Library, a row of
green bikes sits parked in a special stand. Each bike is designed
with the logo
program.
Nice Ride bikes are a lot like the library books that people
come here to borrow. To rent a bike ,you simply use your membership card at a Nice Ride bike
station. Members can rent one of l,200 bikes from 138 stations throughout Minnesota's largest city.
People use the Nice Ride bikes to go to work, to go out on business ,or just to enjoy the city's many
bike paths.
The rise of bike- share programs like Nice Ride is encouraging more people than ever to
choose biking over driving. Skyrocketing gas prices and concerns about the environment have also
gotten people to dust off their bike helmets ,pump air into flat tires ,and hit the road.
Why ride? Not only is biking good exercise ,but switching from a car to a bike also reduces the
amount of pollution in the air. Carbon dioxide , a greenhouse gas linked to climate
change , is one of the many polluting substances that come out of a car's tailpipe.
Bike-share systems are found around the world in cities like London ,Paris, Barcelona, and
Melbourne , Australia. The largest program-with 70,000 bikes-is in Wuhan , China.
To make roads friendlier to non-motorists, the U. S. Department of Transportation has
invested more than a billion dollars in cycling and pedestrian projects in recent years. The money
went toward building thousands of miles of on- street bike lanes and bike-and pedestrian- only
passages called greenways.

England ,will spend over a month in an animal cage
