纽约共享单车出奇规

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车给人们使用。这是个解决城市交通问题及保护环境的好方法。

纽约启动了一项新的自行车共享计划。该计划为人们提供了许多公共自行车。但是它有一个特殊的规定：自行车只供体重不超过260磅的人使用。当地报纸《纽约邮报》解释说：“公共自行车的使用者不能超过260磅，因为这个体重自行车承受不了。”

这个项目的负责人认为这个规定非常有必要。他们说，许多自行车工厂建议他们这样做。他们认为如果肥胖者不骑自行车会更安全。

然而，很多人反对这一规定。他们认为每个人都有权骑公共自行车。“许多肥胖者想通过骑自行车来减肥。应该允许他们这么做。”一名20岁的学生表示，“但新规定不给他们这个机会。”

很多人说，260磅的重量不会损坏自行车，一些自行车商店的老板也同意这种看法。

其他人则认为这个规定不会成功实施，因为这个城市的肥胖者太多了。
