Ethos:
1. I have driven a car for 9 years, and rode a bike for 23 years.
2. I have researched the effects of car pollution on the environment.
3. I have worked for 10 years, both driving to work and riding my bicycle there.
Pathos:
1. Riding your bike makes you happy, and everyone wants to be happy.
2. Riding your bike gets you in shape, which improves your figure and self-esteem.
3. Driving in your car is comfortable and convenient, but it costs more money and
pollutes the earth, things that harm you and future generations.
Logos:
1. Riding your bike is better for you b/c it is exercise. Exercise makes you happy and
healthy.
