(D)
Riding bikes are very popular in the Dutch, because it can reduce air pollution. In fact, almost half of all travel is by bike in the Dutch. Now, a Dutch bike designer, Thomas, has drawn the country's attention to bikes by making a school bus bike.
The school bus bike is big. Thomas designed eight sets of pedals (踏板) for kids, a driver seat for a young man, and three other seats, comfortably letting little kids travel to and from school. The bike even has a motor. It can help the bike to climb high hills. Thomas tells Fast Company that he's sold 25 school-bikes so far, at a price of $25,000 each, it is cheaper than a traditional school bus with the same number of seats. According to the traditional color, he paints the bikes yellow so that people can find them easily.
Thomas says he sold many school bus bikes to neighboring countries, such as Belgium, England and Germany. But so far, he didn't sell the school bus bike in America. If the U.S. is willing to buy this kind of school bus bikes, young students can do more exercise every day. The special school bus bikes can help them keep healthy.
