Bicycle Travel
Inter-city travel by bicycle is strictly for sport in the U.S., but some cities--Seattle is one example--make it easy and safe for bicyclists to commute. Bicycles don't pollute, after all. According to the Bicycle Institute of America, more than 3 million Americans rode bicycles to work at least occasionally in the 1990's, double the 1983 level. In most large cities, however, riding a bicycle can be very dangerous. In general, American automobile drivers are not used to seeing or yielding to bicyclists. If you do ride a bicycle in a city, wear a helmet and protect yourself. Ride with extreme caution. Next Section: Motorcycle Travel Transportation: Chapter Home
