Hello all ex, current and future platform 8rs, I want to draw attention to the fact that we we're last years most environmental friendly platform when it comes to means of transportation. I like to give some attention to a group of Bicycle couriers in the Netherlands that will do an overnight ride from 400 kilometers through the Netherlands. All to attract people to other, more friendly ways of transportation.
Predictions about the growth in traffic for western europe say that there is almost a dubbel amount of road transportation in 2010 compared to 1990. This growth has lead to a heavy increase of polution in the air especially in the city's. Do we really need all this traffic on our roads? As a Cyclist I say no! Not as much and not as destructive. There are many opportunities when it comes to environmental friendly ways of transportation. The bike is where part of our future lies, no pollution, no noise, no sleepingdisorder, no increase of blood pressure en above all no stress!
