1000 Flowers for the Planet - #159 Ride an Electric Bike

1000 Flowers for the Planet - #159 Ride an Electric Bike


If you cannot ride a bicycle, walk or car-pool to get to your destination, an electric bike gives you another option for helping the planet. It takes most of the hard work out of riding an ordinary push bike while still allowing the breeze to brighten your cheeks while you travel. You can either purchase a conversion kit to install on your current bicycle or buy an electric bike already fitted out. Either way, you will be making a further contribution to the benefit of the planet.
By using your bicycle in a conventional manner you can still improve fitness by pedalling as long and hard as you choose. When you get tired, or have a massive hill ahead of you, simply switch over to your electric power and breeze along with ease. You will save time by not having to wait for public transport, it will be convenient to hop on any time you need it and can even carry home a couple of bags of groceries. Instead of using the car to pop to the shops for a few things, take the electric bike. It will be easier to park as well. Riding an electric bike produces far less pollution than a car, uses fewer natural resources and has less of an impact on the planet. It could be a valuable investment, so consider an electric bike as a transportation option.
