Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 52.0Sugestão: You give relevant reasons, but the sentence is awkward and contains a pronoun agreement error: use “their benefits” rather than “its benefit.” Also, “economically saving for the gas” is unnatural; say “they save money on fuel.” Answer the question clearly, then support your opinion with one or two concise reasons.
Exemplo: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in cities. They are good for people’s health and help commuters save money on fuel. They are also convenient for short trips when traffic is heavy.
