Cycling - greener and further
I found a few posts on various blogs about Cycling, which I thought should be shared.
This was the first post I read and ended up visiting all the links in it. This one talks about New York getting its first exclusive bicycle lane. And finally this one talks about bicycling in Copenhagen.
Efforts are on by a bunch of enthusiasts in Bangalore who have started a store as well for road bikes and trek bikes. This is one of their posts on their blog which tells that there do exist lanes on some roads for cyclists in Bangalore. If you are from Bangalore, or planning to move to Bangalore in the near future then visit their site and hop on to a bicycle. :)
As we all know, globally , transportation is a major contributor to the GHG emissions, and in India the situation is only worsening by the day. Choosing to travel by a bicycle would not only cut down the emissions, it also helps in keeping oneself fit. Out here in IIT Madras, almost everyone travels by bicycle. I wish similar attitudes are followed outside the university campuses and academic circles.
Of course, there are a lot of things that can be wished for.
Being well aware of the climate change scenario, cycling to work as much as possible is something that I want to do among other things in the future.
