These boys are heroes!! Teenagers Save Kidnapped Girl From Pedophile Two teenage boys are being hailed as heroes after they chased a car carrying a kidnapped girl — on their bicycles. Via CNN reports: Five-year-old Jocelyn Rojas was playing in her front yard in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, when she vanished Thursday afternoon. Authorities believe she was abducted by a man who lured her by offering ice cream. For two hours, neighbors and police scoured the area and asked if anyone had seen her. Temar Boggs, 15, and his friend took off on their bicycles to search. About a half-mile away, they spotted Jocelyn in a sedan. But the driver was elusive. “Every time we’d go down the street, he’d turn back around, and then … we’ll follow him,” Temar told CNN affiliate WGAL. The two teens chased the alleged kidnapper on their bikes for 15 heart-pounding minutes. The driver apparently knew he was being followed and gave up. “He stopped at the end of the hill and let her out, and she ran to me and said that she needed her mom,” Temar said. Jocelyn’s relatives and neighbors took turns hugging Temar. “He’s our hero. There is just no words to say,” Jocelyn’s grandmother Tracey Clay said. Police are looking for the suspect, described as a white male between 50 and 70 years old. He was driving a reddish-purple or maroon car with round taillights, WGAL reported. The man was wearing green shoes, green pants and a red-and-white striped shirt. He walked with a limp. Although the suspect remains at large, Temar feels good about finding Jocelyn. “I just feel like I did something very accomplishing today,” the teen said. The girl’s family couldn’t agree more. This is one of those times where the word hero actually applies. Ordinary people under extra ordinary circumstances doing extraordinary things. Well done boys, you have restored some faith in humanity lost in the noise this weekend, and you saved a child from a terrible fate.

A Second Life for an Old Train Tunnel Ever since the late 1970s, people have been trying to turn a 124-year-old abandoned railroad tunnel into something that pedestrians and cyclists could use (and eventually, bringing back light-rail to it). Active development started 12 years ago, and after a looooong wait, the 1.2 mile tunnel (not the best place to be if you are claustrophobic) has now been officially opened in front of a very enthusiastic crowd. Cyclists and pedestrians will be able to commute between the Larkspur Ferry landing and San Rafael in a … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Image: Puma A couple of days ago, the sports company Puma picked up the German Sustainability Award 2010, in the category “Most Sustainable Strategy.” Over 560 companies entered in the 2010 competition, so we imagine it was a rather happy Puma CEO and Chief Sustainability Officer who received the award. “I am convinced that it must become a given that every company has to be sustainable and I am grateful that the German Sustainability Award acknowledges sustainable business strategies and hence underpins the imperative for corporations to change their business practices for the better,” said Jochen Zeitz….

Photo: Fibre Flare Nearly 70% of all nighttime Bicycle-Car collisions are due to inadequate side visibility, according to information garnered by Fibre Flare. A firm, who as coincidence would have it, happen to make a high intensity omni-directional bike light, said to visible from almost any direction at distances over 300 metres. Their Fibre Flare lights are, in simplistic terms, a 292mm (~ 1 ft) length of fibre optic tube, sandwiched between a light emitting diode (LED) at each end…. Read the full story on TreeHugger

Painting by Kiuchi Tatsuro , used with permission. Cyclists Can Dream, Can’t They? TreeHugger reader Cynthia D. sent me this painting by Tatsuro Kiuchi, and I immediately loved it. The style is very interesting – it reminds me a bit of some old European comic books I found in my aunt’s basement when I was young – but what makes this worth posting on TreeHugger is the nice inversion. Cyclists in the main lanes, and a separate lane on the side of the road with decals for cars. It’s not something we’re likely to see in the near future, but… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Photo via RRStar All But One There’s a reason that it was so devastating when the Senate climate bill staggered to an untimely death a couple months ago — beyond that singular failure to enact emissions-reducing legislation, there was the sense that it was the last chance we’d have for action in a long while. Due to the conventional wisdom that the GOP will sweep into power, there would hypothetically be a whole lot of opponents to climate… Read the full story on TreeHugger

He designs and builds giant quad bikes that are, in my opinion, amazingly cool and beautiful. So far he has completed three projects: The DogSled, The Pup, and the BigDog. The photo above is of the DogSled, and I’ve included photos of the other two below. Really worth checking out, in my opinion…. Read the full story on TreeHugger

All images: Saul Maret Over the past half dozen years we’ve had more folding bikes cross our screens at TreeHugger than a rear bicycle wheel has spokes. And they keep on coming. The latest one is courtesy of Saul Maret, a French designer, currently based in Boston, Massachusetts. He has shipped images of his Le Pliable folding bike around to various websites the past few weeks. And as best we can make out the bike is still at the concept stage, with the pix only showing CAD renderings. But still, it is an interesting idea for a compact bike….
