(Photo insert: Warren McLaren /inov8) This post is part of series written by TreeHugger contributors about trading in your car for a bike for trips that are two miles or less in distance. The series is sponsored by the Clif 2-Mile Challenge . Do you remember receiving your first bicycle as a child? A seminal moment for many of us. It punctuates that time in our lives when we were enveloped by a sense of unbridled freedom. We were no longer dependent on our parents to shuttle us around the place. We weren’t constrained by bus or train timetables. We could… Read the full story on TreeHugger

I will not go into detail about why I visited the doctor last night, but after describing my symptoms and being the subject of a rigorous examination, his first question was, “Do you ride a bicycle?” When I said yes, everywhere, he gave me his prescription: “Get a new bicycle seat.” I was seriously relieved, but even though my beloved doctor has told me before to “never trust Dr. Google”, I wanted a second opinion and of course, started on TreeHugger. Andrew looked at the issue in a post two years ago and was

A lot of Torontonians are wondering where they will move after the election in October, as the candidates race to the bottom to outdo each other in slashing services, getting rid of bike lanes, building underground highways that make Boston’s Big Dig look small and cheap, and where the formerly leading candidate lost my vote with his rallying cry “Scarborough, not Copenhagen”! (Scarborough is a troubled, car-dominated suburb) That rallying cry was particularly troubling because Toronto could use a little Copenhagen, and even more Jönköping

Bikes are for Everyone While in some parts of the world (Copenhagen, Amsterdam), cycling is the most normal thing in the world for both sexes, other places have had more problems making women feel like cycling might be for them. Thankfully, this is gradually starting to change in many places, and I’m hoping that a virtuous cycle will take place; if women start seeing lots of women on bikes instead of just a bunch of guys, it’ll increase the chances that they’ll think “hey, maybe I should try it”. Our friends at StreetFilms went out in NYC and talked to many wom… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Photo: Tom Wilson Kind of Like a Bike SUV Tom Wilson sure likes to ride around the Burning Man festival in style! 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

Photo credit Edenpictures via flickr. As a new or continuing city cyclist, you are bound to hear the admonishment: “Don’t ride on the sidewalk. It’s dangerous.” I swallowed that Kool-Aid for quite a while. After all, I want cycling to be a respected part of the transport infrastructure, I want cyclists to be generally law abiding and not continually agitate either pedestrians or car drivers (or each other!). But that word “dangerous,” bandied about as it is so … Read the full story on TreeHugger
