Score Point 4 `<br />
Michael’s bike would be unsuitable for speed because there is not any place to put<br />
his feet to make the speed and to make the bike go. Michael’s feet have no room to put<br />
his feet there to make speed as I already said. Another thing is that he can’t even ride<br />
his bike because there isn’t any seat for him and if he can’t ride his bike then how can<br />
he put speed in his bike. There will be no speed in the bike because it will be heavy to<br />
pull the bike and so if it is to heavy to ride there won’t be any speed. So those are<br />
three details why it would be unsuitable for speed.<br />
