People have been enjoying the benefits of cycling in Ams terdam 1 years. Some people call Amsterdam the “City of Bicycles”.
In the 1960s, a group of cycling fans believed it would be 2 (good) if cars weren’t allowed in the city centre and only bicycles were. 3 group painted hundreds of bicycles white 4 placed them in lots of neighborhoods around Amsterdam for people to use. Anyone was allowed 5 (take) them and use them for short journeys. The problem was 6 it didn’t work—thieves took all the bicycles within weeks!
However, more than thirty years later, the “white bike” is b ack in town—this time with a computer chip to record its every move! The new “white bike” is not 7 (actual) white but is an unusual design with bright colours. The bikes 8 (park) at special parking places and people 9 want to use them have to take them to another special parking place.
There is already less tra ffic in central Amsterdam, because both locals and 10 (tourist) have been using the white bikes. Indeed, many people around the world have been enjoying city centre streets without cars for many years.
