The Benefits of Cycling
Introductory
paragraph
Grabber- gets out attention, makes us
want to read
Once
you have learned it, you will never forget how.
THESIS STATEMENT Cycling is an excellent alternate means of
transportation for several reasons. Cycling is much more inexpensive than driving a car. Cycling provides
an excellent opportunity to get in top physical shape. Also, cycling is
easier on the environment than driving your car.
BODY PARAGRAPHS
Riding
your bicycle will help you save on the expenses of owning a car. As car insurance costs rise, everyone is
looking for a way to cut down on transportation expenses. One alternative is to park your car and ride
your bicycle. The money you save on gasoline
and insurance will pay for an excellent bicycle which will last for
years with little extra repair costs.
Whereas a trip to the garage for your car usually costs $500 or $600, a
trip to the bicycle repair shop often costs only $50 or $60.
You can ride your bicycle to improve your health. Cycling to work three times a week will strengthen
your heart and lungs. Also, you may
find your waistline shrinking as you burn off that excess fat. Being in good physical shape helps you feel
energetic and helps you to think clearly.
Finally, a bit of exercise first thing in the morning puts you in a positive
frame of mind for the entire day.
USE DIFFERENT FOR THE SAME IDEAS- you need
a rich vocabulary
Ride your bicycle to save the environment. Everybody these days is worried about pollution.
Nobody likes to see dirty grey skies
and to breathe dirty air. Leaving
your car parked a few times each week will reduce the emissions from
your car engine. Over time, less used
oil will be released into the environment, and the mountains of rusting
cars and worn out tires will shrink.
