Development of "White Bikes"
In the 1960s In 1999 Now
People in Amsterdam first had the idea for "white bikes". They wanted to reduce the amount of traffic and pollution in the city centre. They painted hundreds of white bikes 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.
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.
Bike-sharing is becoming more and more popular in cities around the world, including Chinese cities.
6. Group Work Think and share.
1. What does the title "'White Bikes' on the Road" mean
"White bikes on the road" refers to "white bikes" being used to ride around the streets of a city. Apart from the literal meaning, the title can also mean that the effort to implement "White bikes" projects takes time and it's still on the way. There're still aspects that need to be improved.
6. Group Work Think and share.
2. What does the writer mean by saying "Where will bike-sharing go in China You decide."
Young people like the students will determine how successful bike–sharing is in the future by deciding whether or not and how much they want to use it. It can also mean that whether or not bike–sharing can exist successfully depends on each individual. Everyone has to take the responsibility to take care of bike–sharing so that it can last longer and help people better.
