As I started to think about it I realize now that there is great wonders to be found when you travel through life on a bicycle, there are many things that would otherwise be lost and forgotten, passed up as so many things are when traveling in a car going 55.
It is not only in the benefits to the environment that each grows and becomes better through but it is also in the health benefits gained through that specific journey. Extending life by taking life at a different pace, through human power. There are some who realise that in example this quote from New York Times;
Residents of this upscale community are suburban pioneers, going where few soccer moms or commuting executives have ever gone before: they have given up their cars.
Germany Imagines Suburbs Without Cars - NYTimes.com
To actually put the idea to action, that is the power of this article, to show it can be done and should be done, this same article speaks to the feelings of the residents who gave up their cars to move to this community, that is primarily a bicycling community, the only difference a tram on one end. That of course is only one example, it is really powerful some of the ones that are offered. What are some of the links or ideas you have about this matter? Why not take the necessary action to act and to grow?
