(2022－2023·贵阳市期末改编)Riding a bike has become popular during the past three years. This has developed the bike business a lot. For example，in 2019，the sales of bikes were £4 billion in Germany. However，the sales in the country had an increase of £2.56 billion in 2021，setting a new record. And Germany is expecting another record year for 2022.
As one of the easiest means of transportation，riding a bike is certainly good exercise. Also，in times of rising fuel prices，more people want to use bikes instead of private cars or public transportation. It's no wonder that innovations in bikes always appear. The following are two bike new trends(趋势)for the year 2022.
It's reported that about 150，000 bikes get lost every year. So the need for a good lock is becoming greater. The latest lock can be opened through an app. The mobile phone is the key. Through Bluetooth，the U-lock opens when the owner goes near to the bike. If a stranger moves the bike，the lock will make a loud alarm sound. By the way，the lock can also be opened for family members through the app.
As more and more people use bikes，they often put a bike bag on the bike to carry things. But what will they do with the bike bag when finishing their rides? Not long ago，two 17-year-old high school students named Karl and Leander showed their special bike bags. When the bike ride is over，it's very easy to turn the bike bag into a backpack and continue running with it on the back. It's really cool and useful.
Riding a bike seems to be a trend both in cities and in the countryside. And there will be more innovations to make the ride enjoyable.
