　　①Among various means of transport, bicycles play an important part in the lives of many Chinese. ②There are many factors that may account for the reason why bicycles are so popular in China, but in general, they come down to two major ones. For one thing, ③few average Chinese families can afford private cars. For another, ④buses and other public means of transport are often very crowded.
　　⑤Compared to cars, bicycles have some unmatchable advantages. First, ⑥a car cannot move without petrol while a bicycle only needs human energy. Second, ⑦unlike a car, a bicycle needs only a small place to park. Most important of all, ⑧a bicycle, which does not give off poisonous gas as a car does, is a pollution-free transport.
　　From the above discussion, ⑨I believe bicycles will still be the most popular means of transport in China for a long time since China is a developing country with a large population.
