Basic points
1.Youbike was convenient to the whole Taipei city, but to Ren Ai village, over-placed Youbike stations was dangerous to students.
2.Although most of the Taipei citizens has positive comments about Youbike, the students’ safety should be first considered.
3. Currently, many large roads like Renai Road have bicycle lanes. But other alleys like Daan Road are not suitable. Riding under arcades and streets are not allowed because it is easy to bump into people or harm people. We suggest to imitate japan to plan bicycle lanes on the outer side of the road.
4. Governments should develop more bicycle rules (such as the ban of retrograde) and require drivers to comply with traffic regulations.
5. The government should add more liability insurances and citizens should comply with traffic regulations in order to achieve zero accidents.
