38、oks like both a bike and a plane, so Icall it a“plike”, and it is the same size as an ordinary bike. It has two different kinds of machines. You can use it as an ordinary bike. If there is too much traffic, you can use it as a plane. Whats more, it makes no pollution, so it does no harm to the environment. Above all, bicycle riding is an exciting sport that is quite good for our health. With a plike, you dont have to worry about traffic jams any more.Thats all. Thank you.
