I liked this old school #red#bicycle & the #DIY safety striping, front basket & milk crate cargo add-on.
At the event last night, I'd say about 1/3 of almost 200 audience had cycled to event - gauging from amount of folks I saw carrying bicycle helmets.
Electric vehicles’ #EV emissions might be lower than those from gas-powered cars, but they come with their own set of environmental challenges, including increased tire pollution and the social & environmental impacts of mineral extraction for batteries.
Ultimately, the most environmentally friendly transportation solution lies in promoting walkable communities and reducing overall transportation needs.
The #Taipei#Cycle Show is a chance to check out everything from the latest bikes from global mega-brands – step forward, the new #GiantTCR – to niche makers hidden around the four corners of the #NangangExhibitionCentre.
🚨ATTENTION TRAIN USERS!
The latest government "cost-cutting" ruse is to persuade you no-one needs ticket offices any more. If you have a moment, make your feelings known to your train company. This is time-sensitive - only 21 days before it closes!
For any of you labouring under the misapprehension that no one uses ticket offices any more, see below - all taken in the last 24 hours (sources RMT and TSSA on the other place) https://www.rmt.org.uk/campaigns/rail/save-ticket-offices/?preview=true #UKPolitics#SaveTicketOffices#GreenTransport
Hydrogen powered trains are carrying passengers in Quebec, replacing diesel as fuel. Hydrogen offers a great way to store surplus wind & solar power for later use. There is no good reason for delaying widespread use of this green technology. #GreenTechnology #GreenTransport
Dear Friends, #ClimateDiary 1/3
PM2.5 (particulate matter, 2.5 micrometers) was 151 at 06:00 when this photo was made. These particles are from #Quebec, #Canada#WildFires. In Quebec the rate of wildfires so far this year is 600x more than average. 160,000 hectares have burned. #Pennsylvania and #NewJersey are at very high fire risk. Risk is added by chances for #DryThunderstorms. They are a feature of #desert climate.

Of course, the irony here is that the #jogger, the #pedestrian and #bicyclist all offer clues to a piece of the solution. Improved #infrastructure to support #GreenTransport. In the post 1 if you look down the sidewalk you can see a utility pole right in the middle of it. In post #2 in the #sidewalk foreground, you can see it simply ends in a dirt trail. In post #3, at least there is a #crosswalk, but there are no protected #bikelanes.
