Bike-sharing has swept across China, with an increasing(渐增的) number of people choosing bike riding instead of driving. The service company provides a kind of bike. This kind of bike has GPS or Bluetooth on it, and can be easily unlocked with a smart phone and left anywhere in public. Bike-sharing allows people to borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily.

In some cities, we can see more and more people riding this kind of shared bikes. It's very convenient (方便的) to use the bikes if you have a smart phone. First, you have to download such an APP on your smart phone. Then you need to find a nearest bike through the APP, scan the QR code(二维码) on the bike or connect your phone with the bike over a Bluetooth wireless connection. You will find the bike can be unlocked itself. Then you can enjoy your trip. What's more, bike-sharing has a great advantage. You can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. The cost of riding depends on the driving time. Normally, for every hour you ride, you need to pay one yuan. It doesn't cost so much, does it?

At the same time, some people park the bikes in their own homes. Besides, some people don't value (珍惜) the bikes. Now service companies are trying to solve the problem like being stolen.

Technology and science have changed our social lifestyles. We have to say bike-sharing brings us more convenience. And we also hope that people can not only enjoy it but also put it to good use.
