To begin with, the popularity of the automobile leads to the decreasing number of bicyclists. In the past, due to technological limitations, the automobile industry had difficulty in mass production and cost cutting, so bicycles became the first choice for people to travel. But the car industry has become very mature at present, with the price being more moderate and the loans provided for car purchase, which makes many people can afford to choose a faster and more comfortable car as the first choice of transportation. Another reason is the expansion of the urban area. Urban development will inevitably increase the size of cities, and bicycle is not suitable for long-distance travel due to its restrictions in application, so more people will more likely to choose fast public transportation to replace bicycles in order to improve their work and life efficiency. The third reason is related to safety. As motorized vehicles prevail, cycling on roads can be easily affected by traffic, and many places do not have dedicated bike lanes, which leads many people to abandon cycling for safety concerns.
