Bicycle

Eliminating air pollution! It's easy as pie, a cake walk, riding a bike. Riding a bike! That's what everyone in Paris is doing. Vélib stations are set up in Paris for people to start using. People pay for the half hour and the joy of finishing before the 30 minutes because there's bound to be another Vélib station near 20 minutes your ride. This got me thinking. I live in between Salinas and Monterey, two very distant cities. Abandoning my beloved vehicle would be difficult because walking along the highway is not exactly safe. But what if there were a special paved path on the side of the road near the fields for bikes? I would definitely start biking then. I asked my brother and his friends and they actually started thinking! Their response was quite shocking because they replied, "That would be awesome."
