Let's Bike!

It seems like all big cities are discussing ways to reduce traffic and lower carbon emissions. So, it was great to see a company called Bicing in Barcelona which is actually doing something about it. Everywhere you go you see people riding these red & white bikes. For an annual fee of €24, Barcelona's residents gain access to bikes from over 120 locations spread across the city. Good for the environment and very good for those getting around town and interested in burning some calories.

No final do ano passado em Paris o aluguel de bicicletas foi o grande "hit". Tanto moradores como turistas aderiram à inicitiva. Sem dúvida, mais um estímulo para redução de poluentes, redução de transito e ainda fazer um belo exercício.
