Ride a bike instead of driving, 220°

Plenty of people use cars to make short trips when we can quite easily use a bike instead. Commuting to work (if you don't live too far away!) for example, is a great way to use less fuel and save money. Give it a go!

Anyone have a good pair of styly but useful cycle pants they can recommend?

Leanne, check out IZIP EZgo (http://www.currietech.com/). I saw them at the Alternative Car Expo last fall and they were pretty cool!

These bikes can be kitted out with an electric drivetrain and are of real good quality made in germany.

I'm privileged to live in Cambridge, UK where cycling is often easier than driving. One area of development - you can't currently take your bike on the bus. Any places round the world where this is possible? I'd like to approach my council/bus company with some examples of where it works really well.

Here in NZ some buses have racks.

I'm lucky to work at a place where I can keep my bike inside the building—safe from thieves and the elements.

I ride to work in sydney from manly to homebush - have to catch the ferry for the first leg and its free to take a bike on. if you have to take your ride on the train during peak hours its a child fare - off peak and weekend its free.
