Green cycling, or really green
Posted by volresource on 7 March, 2008
The venerable Sierra Club in the US, which has been concerned about environmental issues just a little longer than most (from 1892) quotes an appropriate British author:
“When I see an adult on a bicycle, I do not despair for the future of the human race,” wrote H.G. Wells. The perfection of the humble bicycle may, in fact, turn out to be the 19th century’s greatest gift to the modern era. Anytime you ride a bicycle, you’re building up some serious green karma, and we salute you. But there’s green and then there’s really green.
Go to their How Green is My Bike Ride quiz to find out just how green your bicycle riding really is.
Thanks to Bike For All for that.
