The bicycle is an excellent short-distance Abstract -- Many college students living away from home do not own any transport vehicle which makes it difficult for them to commute between classes, cafeteria, ground, sports arena, etc. Although walking has been proven good for health, it's still time-consuming. An alternative for this is ‘bicycles’. It is more time-efficient, burns more calories, and increases lower body strength. Other than the above mentioned, opting for bicycles over pollution causing automobiles also helps to reduce the harmful pollutant gases. It is possible to rent a bicycle through a bicycle rental service. For short distances, bicycle rental schemes provide a low-effort and environmentally friendly mode of transportation. This removes the need of buying a new bicycle and makes it affordable to a wider population. It reduces the maintenance time and cost, which would be required of a bicycle owner. This paper is research on why there is an increasing need for bicycle rental apps, how they are better than the air polluting automobiles, their health and environmental effects and how many bicycle rental apps are currently present in India.

transportation option since it produces no pollution, needs no energy, is silent, takes up little room, and is quick and inexpensive (McLintock, 1992; Tolley, 1990). In Britain, 40% of all automobile trips are less than 1.6 km long, and most of these might be converted to bicycles with the right encouragement.

Cycling and cardiorespiratory fitness in youths were found to have a clear beneficial association in crosssectional and longitudinal investigations. Prospective observational studies among middle-aged to older adults found a robust inverse connection between commuter cycling and all-cause mortality, cancer mortality, and cancer morbidity. Commuting cycling showed consistent gains in cardiovascular fitness and some changes in cardiovascular risk variables in working-age individuals in intervention studies[3]. Several agencies assist in the discovery of routes and offers for travel by public transportation such as aircraft, train, or bus, as well as private transportation by automobile. Carsharing has grown in popularity in recent years, and it is a business that heavily relies on the internet booking. A variety of free-floating automobile sharing services have lately emerged, allowing customers to go in one direction without having to return the car to the prior location. [4]

Bicycles take up so little room that 10-12 can be parked in the same space as one car. Their presence contributes to a meditative and peaceful environment, as well as a more modern and appealing image than a campus dominated by parked cars. Cycling should be promoted to improve the nation's health, according to the British Medical Association (British Medical Association, 1992).[1] Using a bike to get to work is a great method to avoid going to the gym. If you're a cyclist, it's a great method to build up your base miles and fitness without setting aside time for specific training.

1. INTRODUCTION Everything we want is now just a click away, thanks to technological advancements. We may book cabs online for travel, but we cannot rent bicycles and go wherever we want. This is why we built this website, which is aimed at college students who do not have access to a vehicle. Cycling is far healthier than walking because it burns far more calories. Because walking is also beneficial to one's health, it takes up additional time that could be spent on other productive activities. Cycling takes up less time. Aside from that, it helps to improve the environment by lowering air pollution and noise pollution.

Transportation is one of the major causes of increasing greenhouse emissions which can be reduced by replacing automobiles with bicycles.

Rapid urbanisation in India has resulted in a massive increase in the number of motor vehicles. Automobiles contribute significantly to urban air pollution and are becoming major sources of anthropogenic carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. The transportation

One of the health benefits of bicycles over automobiles is it reduces the cost of injuries caused due to road
