III. Read the paragraph and decide whether the statements are TRUE (T) or FALSE (F).
Nowadays there are many good reasons for using bicycles instead of cars to travel in city centers.
First of all, bicycles are both silent and clean, and easy to park. Secondly, using a bicycle also
keeps people fit. However, city centres must either have cycle lanes or be free of private cars
completely. Some large cities such as Amsterdam in the Netherlands are already organized in this
way. Finally, a combination of the use of bicycles with very cheap or free public transport solves
the problem of traffic jams and makes the city centre a more pleasant place.
