Here’s my latest contribution to blogTO entitled Sustainable Commuting: the Bicycle, excerpt:
“The bicycle is the most efficient means of human-powered transportation, meaning it can travel the most distance with the least amount of energy exerted. Invented in the 19th century, bikes take up very little space, they’re quiet, and they don’t pollute. In Toronto, there are few faster ways to get around the city. Safety, however, has always been an impediment to potential cyclists with our lack of bike lanes and the “door prizes” that Toronto drivers periodically hand out.”
