Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.

    I like “rails2trails” bike paths because they tend to be flat (since trains can’t handle steep grades unless they’re a funicular or cog railroad), but I agree that running passenger trains again would be even better.

      There’s no reason we can’t have more strict requirements of grade for bike roads.

      I’ve been in bike roads that ran parallel to car roads. The bike road went up and down while the car road was at a better grade. So I got off the bike road and went on the car road. Its like these idiots think were out riding for fun on weekends or something.

      The solution is regulations.
