Peugeot started building bicycles in 1882 and cars in 1890, so they have a bit of a history in different modes of transportation. TreeHugger has been excited about car-sharing setups like zipcar and bike-sharing systems like Velib; product service systems like this let people have transportation when you need it rather than owning it when you don’t. Now Peugeot takes it one step further with “Mu”; They will supply you with anything you need, from a bicycle to a scooter to a car to a van, with options like child seats and rooftop boxes.

Howard Stern sidekick Artie Lange hospitalized

A publicist for Artie Lange says the comedian and radio personality has been hospitalized. In an e-mail sent Monday to The Associated Press, publicist Hilary Hansen declined to elaborate, saying, “Artie has chosen to keep all information on this matter between him and his doctor.” The 42-year-old Lange, best known as Howard Stern’s radio sidekick, has been absent from Stern’s Sirius radio show for a month. On Monday’s show, Stern said Lange isn’t leaving the program and called him “a tremendous contributor.” Lange, who lives in Hoboken, N.J., has battled drug addiction. In September, a New Jersey judge revoked his driving privileges for seven months after he admitted he was under the influence of prescribed sleeping pills in a minor traffic accident.
