Cycling has gradually become a trend

Cycling has gradually become a trend and more and more people like riding a bicycle. According to statistics, in 2020, the number of cyclists had accumulated 8. 1 billion miles on Strava (Galic, 2021). However, the increase in the number of cyclists has also made some schools aware of the need to provide bicycling services for students and staff. As a result, more and more universities have established bike centers, while some university officials are also discussing the establishment of bike centers to provide bicycling services for people (Dalhousie University, 2012). At Dalhousie, the university has established a bike center to provide safe and reliable daily bicycling services for students and staff, as well as to organize cycling activities to improve people's health. Dalhousie's bicycle service provides good protection for people's bikes. Firstly, bike theft is a recurring problem on campus. According to Simple Bike Insurance (2021), "Over 1. 5 million bicycles are stolen every year on campus". However, to reduce the possibility of losing bikes, Dalhousie's bicycle service provides a place for people to put their bikes. This place is known as a Secure Parking Areas (SPA), which can both keep people's bikes safe and reassure those who use the service without worrying about their bikes being stolen (Dalhousie, 2019). Secondly, when people's bicycles suddenly break down, the school can also provide relevant services. For example, students and teachers can repair broken bikes for free through the Dal Bike Center, or people can borrow bikes from Bike Center through bike loan program (Dalhousie, 2019). In addition to ensuring the daily use of bikes, Dal's bike service also includes hosting relevant bike activities, which are a great way to improve the health of students and staff. For example, in the spring, Dalhousie University holds seminars on cycling (Dalhousie, 2019). By participating in this activity, people learn much expertise about cycling and it also improves people understanding of bicycles. Furthermore, this activity also brings great benefits to people's health. Firstly, cycling is a good aerobic exercise, which can help people strengthen their core and even lose weight (McCoy, 2021). Secondly, according to McCoy (2021), people can build self-respect and self-esteem by overcoming the feeling of breathing difficulties and physical discomfort during bicycle riding. Cycling activities organized by Dal bicycling Service can not only make people know about cycling, but also improve people's physical quality. To sum up, Dalhousie's bicycle service has many advantages: it improves the safety of using bicycles on campus, ensures the normal use of daily bicycles by teachers and students, and improves people's health through holding activities, which makes the university campus safer and safer and more harmonious.
