Show Me The Green
Well, I actually did it…I sold my old vehicle and am (temporarily) car-free. I took my old vehicle (it was two years older than my teen aged son) to the shop for its annual inspection and it didn’t pass. My mechanic (who I trust) told me of it’s ailments, and even politely questioned whether IContinue reading “Show Me The Green”

I came across this chart at Romanian Bike Culture Blog; I also found it posted here, at Treehugger. Click it on for a closer look. It’s rather interesting…especially that it states the bicycle is still the worlds most popular vehicle. Here’s an interesting link at EcoWorldly.com listing 17 reasons the bicycle is the worlds mostContinue reading “The Most Popular Vehicle”

I’ll Admit it (Reluctantly)
This post could easily be titled “Things That Cannot Be Carried On A Bike,” but I don’t entirely think it’s true.

I came across a site that sold the Mundo Yuba and it actually showed them being delivered by another Yuba. Anyhow, much to my teenage son’s chagrin, that is his bike being towed.Continue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#8)”
