blue! I can't wait to go ride my bike!
我有了一輛新的腳踏車，我等不及要去騎騎看了！

Taiwan has many beautiful cycle routes. They let you see mountains and
forests and the ocean… They have made Taiwan famous all over the world for
cycling!
Route 是路線的意思，你也可以唸做
route。台灣有很多美麗的自行車道，可以看到高山、森林，或是大海。這讓台灣的自行車旅遊世界聞名！

New Taipei City has lots of cycle routes. Many of them are by a river. People
in the city can go cycling and feel healthy!

But cycling can be dangerous too. Some people cycle very fast and crash. They
sometimes get badly injured. Also, many cycle routes are far from big roads.
It isn't easy for ambulances to get there.
新北市有很多河邊的自行車道，但是騎車是有風險的，有人騎太快而撞車受傷。而且很多自行車道距離馬路很遠，救護車很難到達。

cyclists help people!
新北市有個好點子，他們組織了特別的自行車隊伍來幫助人！

These cyclists have first aid kits on their bikes. The kits have everything
they need to help injured people.

need help. They can get to people faster than an ambulance. And they're
eco-friendly too!
這個隊伍的自行車上有急救箱，還在自行車道上巡邏，幫助有需要的人。這樣不只可以比救護車快，也更環保！
