This morning started early, as we wanted to get to our next stop, as we had planned a bike ride there. The drive took us along the mountainous East coast of the Kii Peninsula, and we felt a little like moles, as the road seemed to spend more tie going through mountains, than between them. … More Day 35 – Cycling and a Shrine to a white fox| Vaucluse Dreamer

Flat tires are no fun, but they shouldn’t ruin a cycling trip. You can fix a flat tire by following these steps: 1. Inspect the valve to see if it might be the culprit to your tire losing air. Depending on the type of valve, you can tighten or replace it. 2. Deflate the tire completely, release the brakes if possible and remove the wheel from the bike. Slip a tire tool between the rim and the tire and slide it around the rim until the tire is loose enough to remove. Pull out the inner tube....| Scout Life magazine

A key objective of sustainable transport policy is to reduce driving in cities, which is often measured by vehicle kilometers traveled (VKT). Facilitating this shift away from private vehicles may seem challenging in places currently experiencing rapid growth, especially as data in nearly all of the key regions where ITDP operates indicate a rise in VKT. This is expected to further increase by 50% globally by 2030, or approximately 15% every five years since 2015. In the Africa region, VKT by...| Institute for Transportation and Development Policy - Promoting sustainable a...

Amid the devastation wrought by the pandemic were small glimmers of hope.

A frequent dilemma that we all struggle with to some degree is that our intentions don’t lead to actions, for both important and trivial matters. Either we get started and don’t sustain, or we don’t even begin at all.
