INTRODUCTION

Motor vehicles offer convenience and flexibility for people who have access to them. However, they also have negative impacts on the environment, including air and noise pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The level of environmental impact of motor vehicles depends on a number of factors such as the number and type of motor vehicles, the type of fuel used, and the frequency of servicing. Bicycles offer an environmentally friendly transport alternative, while improving health through physical activity.
