Green Biking

Los Angeles is planning to spend $230 million on 1,700 miles of bicycle paths to be completed by 2015. Besides paths, there will be changing rooms, showers, and bike storage areas. This could be the trend of the future in the US where we are so accustomed to using our cars. Fro example, Houston residents make 95% of their trips by car while in Tokyo 68% of trips are made by bike, subway, or through walking. Other mass transportation projects to reduce reliance on cars are being proposed or developed in Copenhagen, Melbourne, Amsterdam, Jerusalem, and other major cities.
