The love that dares to say its name
The Manchester Friends of the Earth have launched a initiative to get more folks rolling. LoveYourBike.org declares that Cycling is fun, healthy and you'll save money. It's website is packed with information and links to all things biking and provides practical advice on biking to work in Manchester.
LoveYourBike is asking folks who already bike to work to send in a description of their route. If they send in a photo of themselves and their bikes, it will be published on the website.
It's also asking bike commuters to report on the the good bits and the bad bits for biking in Manchester. These will be shared with other bikers and passed along to the local councils of Greater Manchester.
The following video is a report on the success of LoveYourBike.org. It includes a rather hilarious promotional piece that makes me wonder if we sometimes turn our love of bikes into a downright fetish.Labels: enviromatters, new urbanism, rolling abroad

Hello,
The new bicycle Sideways Bike may be a good story.
The original bicycle has been around for 200 years.
Don’t you think it is time for a change?
This bicycle can drift like a snowboard around cars.
Best Regards

The bicycle, surely the bicycle, should always be the vehicle of novelists and poets.
