Cerebral Zephyr

Recently we had a discussion in our institute that we must promote the usage of bicycles in our campus in order to cut down on the pollution that is being caused by the local rickshaws. So our senior batch has decided to purchase 4 bicycles for us to use. Now it remains to be seen how much of that shall be implemented.

However there is another underlying motive or reason behind using the ubiquitous bicycle (its widely used in Rural India, which comprises almost 70% of the nation), and the motive is to lessen our dependence on the automation that seems to be growing around us all the time. The senseless pursuit to save some ounces of time.

Our Institution being just on the edge of the town makes it more prudent for us to implement the bicycle solution because not only will it promote health but it shall also reduce to a certain minute extent our negative impact on the local environment.

The Handy Bicycle can be used as a tool for promoting sustainable development. For Statistics on Bicycle production and usage go to the link http://www.ibike.org/library/statistics.htm
The link gives all the details about the bicycle usage and other facts and figures. Also there is another site that talks about promoting the usage of bicycles as a part of its sustainable development. http://www.360ways.org/home/concept/sustainable_development/sdbike.htm

I will see you all next time, till then ………Yours cerebralplay.
