Question

   Suppose you find a bright yellow bike on a street corner in the city. You hop on it and ride away. But wait—isn’t this s1? No one shouts “Stop!Thief!” That’s b 2 this free ride is just fine with the city.

    You can find h 3 of free yellow bikes in some US cities. The idea began in Portland Oregon in 1994. People saw a need for f 4 transportation and they wanted to help e 5 pollution. So to get citizens out of their cars and onto pollutionfree bikes they s 6 the Yellow Bike Project.

    The public bikes are p 7 bright yellow and placed throughout the city. People can hop on a yellow bike and ride to work to school or to run errands. They then leave the bike for the n 8 rider. There have been times when bikes have been stolen but most people obey the r 9 . What would be the point of stealing something that’s already free?

  Portland’s i 10 quickly became popular. Within two years of its start similar programmes were set up in cities in six other states.
