Name the piece of evidence that best supports the claim, "many people are turning to bicycles"
Many people are turning to bicycles over cars/walking. Riding a bike has proved good for the body, the planet and the wallet. According to a recent study, low-effort ride (10mph) burns far more calories than a relaxed afternoon stroll (2mph). A bike won't emit any pollutants or deplete non-renewable resources. In addition, whereas the asphalt, roadway tars and other chemicals used to make parking lots damages the earth, a bike rack is no more a nuisance than a mailbox. A bike requires minimal upkeep and those repairs that are needed are largely doable by the average rider and a few simple tools. Finally, with the growing amount of bike trails and charity rides, there is even a growing social aspect to bikes that isn't available to those in encased in a car.

name the claim: I believe that we should participate in shutdown your screen week. I think that everyone in the school should not use any electronics for one week. Since the invention of the computer, cellphone and other electronics, people have been using them more and more and more. These electronics have big upsides, you’re never alone if you have cell service and Facebook allows people to talk to multiple friends at once when they’re not in the same room, town, state, or country. But they also have their downsides. What makes us truly great is our ability to think deeply and focus, but when we use electronics or the internet we aren’t doing either of these things. In fact, using these things makes us think more shallow and focus less. I think that we should participate in shut down your screen week.
