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.
