government to help bike riders. For example, they want the city to draw bicycle lanes on some of the main streets, because when bike riders have to use the same lanes as cars, there are accidents.
Bike
for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes more people would use bikes.
But no bicycle lanes have been drawn. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea - they say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business. And most people live too far from downtown to travel by bike.
The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants everyone happy. Only on weekends, Central Park is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bicycles only. But Bike for a Better City says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown.

Lily is 70 years old and she takes care of her 91-year-old mother. She told us about caring for her mother.
I wake up early every day, it’s usually about 6.30 am, and wait until I hear Tilly, my mum, moving about. Then I make her a cup of tea.
At about half past seven she gets up and we have breakfast together. We normally just have toast, but on Sundays we always have bacon and eggs. After breakfast she reads the newspaper, then she sits by the window and waves to the neighbours as they walk by.
She hardly ever goes out but she is very proud of her personal appearance, so she goes to the hairdresser once a month.She doesn’t like being left on her own for very long, so I always arrange for a neighbour to come and sit with her when I go out. Now
and again, my friend and neighbour, Joan, comes to spend the day with her, and I can go and have lunch with another friend, in town.
I have a brother, Syd. He comes to stay two or three times a year.
He is very good and keeps in touch, but he lives 300 miles away. Once a year, he collects mum and takes her to stay with
him in London for
May, who lives
a week. She doesn’t really like going because it’s a long journey, but I need the rest.
Sally, the nurse, comes to see mum regularly.
My next-door neighbour,
