Development of “White Bikes”
In the 1960s In 1999 Now
(4) Check answers as a class.
Suggested answers: In the 1960s: People in Amsterdam first had the idea of “white bikes”. They wanted to reduce the amount of traffic and pollution in the city centre. They painted hundreds of bicycles white and left them around the city centre for people to use. Within a matter of weeks, the bikes had all been stolen and the project came to an end. In1999: The “white bikes” returned to Amsterdam. This time every bike had a computer tracking system in it to make it possible to record its movements and you had to use a special card to take a bike. Now: Bike-sharing is becoming more and more popular in cities around the world, including Chinese cities.
3. Read the text again.
Let students read the text again and answer the following questions based on their understanding and notes.
Why did cycling fans put forward the idea of “white bikes” in the1960s
What is the difference between the “white bikes” of the 1960s and of 1999
What effects have “white bikes” had on Amsterdam
Why has the idea spread to other parts of the world in recent years
Suggested answers: They believed that it would be better for everybody if cars weren’t allowed in the city centre and only bicycles were. They were hopeful that this would help to save energy, reduce pollution and provide free public transport. In the 1960s, the bikes were white. Anyone was allowed to take them and use them for short journeys. People would leave the bike in the place where they finished their journey, so that someone else could then take it and use it from there. In1999, the “white bikes” were designed with a computer tracking system to record their every move! To take a bicycle, you had to put in a special card. The new “white bikes” were not actually white but painted in bright colours. The bikes were parked at special parking places. Thus people who wanted to use them had to take them to another special parking place near their destination and leave them there. People can now enjoy clean air and easy transport in central Amsterdam. Because it is a cheap and easy way to save energy, reduce air and noise pollution, and enjoy the benefits of exercise in cities.
