Cyclists prowl the streets of London knowing that they cause problems to other motorists since a cycle is the least protected on the roads. No helmets, no florescent clothing, this is what makes cyclists not welcome in this city. According to the Department of Transport 24 out of 112 road accidents in 2008 were cyclists. This just shows the threat that cyclists can pose to other motorists in central London. The deaths of cyclists increases each year, this shows how vital it is to put all cyclists in Room 101.

The wide use of transportation contributes to how society is increasingly turning away from walking. Since, the majority of people drive either their own cars or a form of public transportation regularly they have lost the sense of distance. People may never even know that the daily commute they may take to work is faster to walk to then it is to wait in traffic for. For example, recently my roommate invited me along so she should get a tattoo at a parlor in our hometown. We had to take a bus to get near to the location because it is a bit far away from UCR, but once we got off at a bus stop instead of walking the short distance that would take about 15 minutes we decided to call an Uber. We both haven’t been in our hometown in a while, so instead of enjoying it we decided to take a car. At my high school, students were allowed to drive themselves to the campus beginning junior year. I never got my license during high school, so I would either be picked up by one of my parents or a friend who drove to themselves to school would. However, whenever one of my parents would pick me up they would refuse to pick me up directly in front of the school because of the ridiculous amount of traffic. They had me walk a little over half a mile each day after school to the exact same spot. Even though, half a mile wasn’t a long walk I realized a difference between taking that small walk and being driven home by

For a lot of us, we’ve lost sight of this innate need to explore the unexplored. As work, school, family, social life and everything else that drives our days continues to pull us in every direction, it’s hard to remember the last time we were able to experience something so pure. For Jimmy, he’s managed to marry these stresses into his pride and joy, the Boise Bicycle Project. As Boise’s community-oriented, non-profit promoting the personal, social and environmental benefits of bicycling, BBP functions as “a bicycle recycling center as well as an educational workspace in a diverse and non-threatening atmosphere. Through education and access to affordable refurbished bicycles BBP strives to build a stronger bicycling community.”

It is never easy to do good for the society. It comes with many complications. Money, effort, oppositions. It is never easy and especially to do it in New york city, the centre of all economic opportunities, just makes it even more difficult. It all started in 2006, under the leadership of former mayor, Michael Bloomberg, when “the city planning department conducted a survey of city bicycle commuters and recreational cyclists in 2006”( Lyon 4) to see the feasibility of NYC city bike share program. The main intention or rather the main motive for introducing a bike share program was to “maximise efficiency of existing mass

Riding a bike is something that humans do and to ride a bike is something that is human, “Every Friday, the girls who had learned how to ride a bicycle celebrated by going on chaperoned trips into town.” (Russell 238). This displays how the girls who do a good job such as Claudette, get to go to the town to celebrate their accomplishments of riding a bike, celebrating their humanity. The girls become very sad and show their wolf like features when they hear that they will be seeing their brothers. “Our invisible tails went limp.”

Across the United States, every year millions of license drivers choose to ride motorcycles rather than drive automobiles for a variety of reasons; Reasons range from individual pleasure to a much more cost effective way to travel. The universal motorcycle helmet law debate over the past forty years has revolved around whether the federal government should adopt a universal helmet law that mandates all motorcyclists to wear helmets at all times when riding to reduce societies economic cost, or whether the individual rider should have the right to choose rather to wear or not wear a helmet.

When there are more bikes around, people drive safe and when there are more bikes around, people drive safer and are aware of them. The more bicyclists we see, the safer the roads are going to be for them. I think Manhattan should be doing everything it can to encourage people to bike safe and make the city a safer place to bike

This article I read in the Science Times is called “Cycling 101 Needn’t Be a Collision Course.” Cycling, believe it or not, can be considered a very dangerous sport. When it comes to bike-related injuries, the United States has the greatest count. Overall, in recent studies, there has been a great percentage increase in the injuries resulting from cycling. The injuries from arms and legs have went down considerably. But, fatalities to the head and torso have increased. The lead author of the study of cycling states how roadways and streets could potentially be safer if there were more cyclists. He says this because he believes injuries will decrease if cyclists travelled in numbers. Other countries, excluding the US, are considerably safer

Bikie law in QLD and SA have brought to life many social justice issues regarding anyone who rides a motorcycle with a small group of friends, wears branded leather jackets in public or has large (loud) social gatherings in public places. While the laws are meant for illegal bikie gangs, many individuals who ride motorcycles are also being affected, as they unfortunately fall into the category of illegal bikies.

Transportation on Pennsylvania State campus, via bicycle, has always been an option for students and faculty since 1855. However, the university 150 years ago was different considering the size of the campus and student body. In 1863, and later years, the classes totalled a measly 64 undergraduates, while in 2016 more than 40,000 students make up each undergraduate level. Every year this number increases making university park a more crowded area in every regard from housing to congestion of sidewalks. Regulations provided to students available online outline the basic conditions for riding a bike on campus and highlight provisions made by the university. However, as a student who has been on campus for a summer and two thirds of a fall semester, I feel the rules are not only impossible to follow, but fail to ensure safety to students and faculty. There must be action to improve the current state of transportational means on campus for students and one of the best and simple means in doing so is through the revision of roadways on campus.

Right from the beginning, parents tell their children—first learning to ride their brightly colored bikes decked out in training wheels, bells, and streamers—to always ride on the sidewalk. This is where the opinion was first formulated in our minds that riding on it was the

Journey perceptions are the positive thoughts about cycling, including wider benefits and effectiveness of cycling. Many of the positive trip perceptions identified during the interviews were factors that helped sustain cycling practices, such as enjoyment or improvements in health and body fitness. They may not necessarily have played a key role in activating the initial change in practice, but once the change had been established they provided positive outcomes that encouraged its continuation. Participants often highlighted the enjoyment of a cycling trip and talked about feeling less stressed if they cycled.

This boom was triggered by Chinese local governments' efforts to restrict motorcycles in city centers to avoid traffic disruption and accidents. By late 2009 motorcycles are banned or restricted in over ninety major Chinese cities. Users began replacing traditional bicycles and motorcycles and, in e-bike became an alternative to commuting by car.
