Paragraph 4 Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40 Biking has enjoyed a rise in popularity around the world as urbanites avoid public transport and turn to the relative safety of a two-wheeled commute. [II] Now, many cycling supporters are working with local governments in the hope of turning this COVID-related trend into lasting changes. [III] Tabitha Combs, a lecturer at the University of North Carolina, has been gathering data on local actions affecting cycling during the pandemic. [IV] At present, she has identified at least 365 global cities that have designated new street space for this activity since she began on 24 March. “This was clearly a phenomenon that was taking place in cities all around the world at roughly the same time,” she explains. “It was like a simultaneous global brainwave.” While some cities created pop-up bike lanes, others implemented ‘slow streets’ by erecting makeshift barriers and reducing speed limits so bikers could safely share the road with other vehicles. In Europe, Paris fast-tracked a plan to create 650km of temporary and permanent bikeways, while Rome introduced 150km of its own cycling lane. However, there is still the issue of how cities can keep people cycling after COVID, especially as enthusiasm is waning in places such as the UK, where a new report shows car ownership is considered more important than ever. Harry Prapawessis, director of the Exercise and Health Psychology Lab at Canada’s Western University, thinks this boils down to three key factors: efficiency, safety and cost. To begin with, should constantly improve the quality of their bike networks, and ensure infrastructure is well maintained even in poor weather. They also need to put more effort into showcasing the cost-effectiveness of a two-wheeled commute, which can be six- times cheaper than driving a car, to the general public. Plus, he says, there are simple policies that can promote cycling, including tax breaks, reductions in healthcare premiums or worker-compensation packages that include benefits for bike commuters. Prapawessis adds: “These are strategies that lead to real behavioural change because there is this reminder that as you ride regularly, society is showing you that it values and rewards your decision.” As a behavioural scientist, he hopes 2020 will not be remembered as a blip in time when bike travel soared only because of COVID-19 fears.
