Although it has the world's largest subway system, traffic can still be quite bad, particularly at rush hour. The city decided that it would be a good idea to encourage more people to use bicycles. If more people rode bicycles, the roads would be less clogged with cars. Also, when you ride a bicycle, you are exercising, which makes you healthy. But how can you encourage people to ride more bikes?
