Many cities offer public bikes for people to ride. This is a good way to solve traffic problems in cities and protect the environment at the same time.

New York starts a new bike-sharing program. The program provides lots of public bikes for people. But it has a special rule： the bikes are only for people less than 260 pounds. “The user of a public bike shouldnt be over 260 pounds， because the weight is too heavy for the bike to carry，” explains the New York Post， a local newspaper.

The leaders of the program think the rule is very necessary. They say that many bike factories suggest they should do so. They think it will be much safer if fat people dont ride bikes.

However， many people are against this rule. They think everyone has the right to ride a public bike. “Many fat people want to lose weight by riding bikes. They should be allowed to do that，” says a 20-year-old student. “But the new rule doesnt give them the chance.”

Many people say that 260 pounds wont break a bike， and some owners of bike shops agree with that.

Others say that the rule wont be successful， because there are so many fat people in this city.

許多城市提供公共自行車給人們使用。這是個解決城市交通問題及保護環(huán)境的好方法。

紐約啟動了一項新的自行車共享計劃。該計劃為人們提供了許多公共自行車。但是它有一個特殊的規(guī)定：自行車只供體重不超過260磅的人使用。當?shù)貓蠹垺都~約郵報》解釋說：“公共自行車的使用者不能超過260磅，因為這個體重自行車承受不了?！?/p>

這個項目的負責(zé)人認為這個規(guī)定非常有必要。他們說，許多自行車工廠建議他們這樣做。他們認為如果肥胖者不騎自行車會更安全。

然而，很多人反對這一規(guī)定。他們認為每個人都有權(quán)騎公共自行車。“許多肥胖者想通過騎自行車來減肥。應(yīng)該允許他們這么做?！币幻?0歲的學(xué)生表示，“但新規(guī)定不給他們這個機會?！?/p>

很多人說，260磅的重量不會損壞自行車，一些自行車商店的老板也同意這種看法。

其他人則認為這個規(guī)定不會成功實施，因為這個城市的肥胖者太多了。
