Remember going to the local science museum’s elecricity exhibit? You get on a bike hooked up to a generator and pedal away until soon that generator feeds a light bulb, that flickers and burns bright.
The Green Microgym in Portland is using the same concept to ability the TVs and stereos at the gym. Solar capability feeds the lights. Bikes are linked together using a technology called the Human Dynamo.
The Human Dynamo is a bike connected to a battery that stores the energy society cre…

by the past year, there’s been no shortage of exciting green news coming out of Boulder, CO. Aside from being the first city to shoot for a zero-waste football stadium, the city has been hard at work building one of the most bicycle-friendly traffic infrastructures in the nation, and it appears that their hard work hasn’t gone unnoticed. The League of American Bicyclists has awarded Boulder with “Platinum Bike Status” — one of only 3 cities in the US.
With 381 miles of bikeways, contraflow b…

If you tend to take your bike for light-duty errands around town, thereupon you’ve probably been through at least one drive-thru banking experience on two wheels. I have, and I can say from experience that it feels just a bit awkward. Especially when there are humans waiting in a car behind you, laughing and throwing things. Well, here’s some good news for bikers in Boulder, you no longer have to wait in a line of scornful motorists, considering you’ve got your own bike-thru banking lane!

The last place you want lead to be present is near your kid’s food, but that was just the case a few years ago, when many soft, vinyl lunch boxes were found to contain lead, some at high levels.
According to Green Living Tips, even though lead was found in many soft vinyl lunch boxes, government scientists at the Consumer Safety Product Commission stated that they found “no instances of hazardous levels.” Why? They reasoned that kids don’t chew on lunch boxes and the food is usually wrapp…

I take it all back, Beijing was a great choice to host that year’s Olympics. Preparations for the Summer Games don’t usually produce much newsworthy material — heck, sometimes the entire event goes by with a big yawn. In stark contrast, the buildup to that year’s games has been a hotbed of stories that draw our attention to the environmental degradation that Beijing is working to hide.
With only 10 days left to prepare and nearly all of the options already exercised, Beijing’s air qualit…

Right outside of Copenhagen, IKEA has finally cashed in on the number of bike riders. The store is now offering customers Velorbis bicycles to help them get their purchases home.
After you buy your items and put down a deposit on the bike (approximately $100 US, plus a seven dollar insurance policy) you can load them into the attached trailer and ride away.
Pluses: You’re not burning fuel. You get great exercise. It’s easier to maneuver the parking lot. You can scoff at the drivers…

There are lots of reasons to explore New York from the seat of a bike. First off, there’s the cheapness factor, which is pretty huge now that gasoline is rivaling saffron in terms of price. And, of course, there’s the fact that waiting at a traffic light with an idling engine seems like an ideal way to help destroy the planet.
Beyond that, though, there’s a lot to be said for getting out of the protective carapace of the automobile. It’s nice to wander around, talk to citizens, get to kno…
