The university does have a bicycle borrowing program that benefits the students. The letter from a student named Susan indicates that if the borrowing period can be shortened and cash deposit can be replaced by students’ ID card, it would be more convenient. However, in the conversation, the man doesn’t agree with her suggestions. First of all, if shortened the borrowing time to two hours, it would cause a lot of troubles. For instance, the man and his friend often ride the bicycle off campus and take a hike, which might cost them the whole day. If less time is allowed, they would not be able to do that. Furthermore, using the ID card is not practical for the man. Lots of places can be entered only with students’ ID card such as library and dining hall. So, if the card is used to borrow bicycles, he will not be able to go to these places, which causes more inconvenience.
