Cycling is the most sustainable form of transportation, but the bicycle is becoming increasingly damaging to the environment. The energy and material used for its production go up while its life expectancy decreases.
@alyaza Great article. Been in love with Low Tech Magazine ever since I discovered it a year or two ago; it running on solar power is a great exercise in eco-conscious computing (although it can come off as a bit anprim sometimes). Hopefully I’ll be able to pick up a bike soon but lately I’ve been using my skateboard for transit more as the weather has gotten warmer and it’s been really fantastic. It’s nice having a low-material mode of transportation that can still carry you far.
