And I have always believed that if we can envision it, we can create it. Imagine the city you want to live in, and then talk to people about it, plant a seed in their minds, too.<br /><br />After all, it isn't only that it's a healthier way to live, the two wheeled lifestyle. It is more economically viable. It is sustainable. It is simply a win/win situation. When I began so many years ago, nobody I knew could imagine their lives without a car, but now I know others who do it, too. We are making a difference in the world just living according to our beliefs. People will see that you are happy and well without dependence on a car and the possibility suddenly exists where it didn't before.<br /><br />Keep the faith, sunshine! :) xo xobabble onhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08895102832912891306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-85530486549729740.post-83258182514555572372015-02-11T09:41:27.900-08:002015-02-11T09:41:27.900-08:00Lol!!

Including the massive subsidisation of cars in the infrastructure to support them as well as the environmental and health costs.<br />Lester Brown - plan B 4.0 ( from memory)<br />It is well worth reading. As is any of his writing. So sad he is throwing in the towel soon.<br />While I'm on books, also check out Peter Drucker.. Not environmental but still good business / behavioural stuff. <br />We have a world naked bike ride coming up soon here. I'm not sure if it's to promote cycling and highlight our vulnerability etc, or just an opportunity to ride naked... I wonder what annual income naked Australian cyclists fit into the top 1%? <br />Once again, thank you for babbling up my day.<br /><br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Plan-4-0-Mobilizing-Civilization-Substantially/dp/0393337197<br />Harryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17605332811185806347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-85530486549729740.post-55583517574107168352015-02-10T21:33:36.510-08:002015-02-10T21:33:36.510-08:00spurt jizz spurt jizz Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-85530486549729740.post-8013967199961409042015-02-10T20:19:27.705-08:002015-02-10T20:19:27.705-08:00Babble,
Arrugh. I wish I could be more optimistic...Babble, <br />Arrugh. I wish I could be more optimistic, I truly do. What I see here in Central (costal) California - every day - are a GAZILLION cars, and a handful of bikes. On the principal local “bike path”, most of (the few) bike users are Latino restaurant workers, commuting to and from work, using the only means of transportation that they can afford. You know, “real” bike riders. And, they ride on bikes that look like they were salvaged from dumpsters. On the parallel road, an unending line of high-dollar cars streams incessantly by. Can this transportation catastrophe ever evolve, ever be righted? I do not know. I’ll just keep riding, and hold onto the notion that “things do change”. // Your posting was excellent, thought-provoking, as usual. And your leg…oh my!
