Cycling in Waterloo Region

[ijmorlan]

Here's a good article on how bicycle manufacturing is not - at the moment anyway - sustainable. Note, the website uses solar power and may go offline at times.

To me the real news is the rise of proprietary nonsense in bicycles as we have in so many industries. Bicycles could be way worse than they are and still be way more sustainable than motor vehicles and their associated infrastructure.

I can’t help but comment that the idea that the website uses solar power and may go off sometimes is cute but doesn’t exactly project an image of seriousness. It’s something I expect to see as a parody in the Simpsons (when it was good).
