三. 日记

In my opinion, the city bikes bring great convenience to our life. If I'm in a hurry, I'll choose to ride a city bike instead of walking. It takes me only 5 minutes to go to the subway station by bike. However, some people park bikes in their own yard or even remove the saddle, in order that they can continue to ride these bikes the next day. It ticked ticks me off, because it is everybody's duty to take good care of the public resources.
