Walk Or Cycle To Work

Written by Caldini - visit  How To Go Green

If everyone just walked or cycled a couple of miles a day think of the saving in Fossil Fuel. Here's an example:-

100 people x 2miles a day x 365 days = 73,000 miles a year.  Now keep on adding more people over more years and the figures are staggering. So you see Everyone just doing a little can make a BIG difference.

If you live within 5 miles of your work place you may find that it's very easy and rather much quicker to ride a bike or even walk to work. Not only will you be reducing air pollution, you'll also get much fitter.

If you're thinking of biking into work, I'd recommend the following:
  • a set of paniers - much better than a rucksack which will leave your back all sweaty
  • a safety helmet - essential
  • windproof clothes - stops you getting sweaty from cycling but keeps you warm
  • a comfy seat - look after your bum - this is a ride into work not the Milk Race!
  • a spare tyre and pump - much easier than a puncture repair kit - although do repair punctured tyres for re-use
  • bike-clips - look after your trousers
If you're thinking of walking, I'd recommend:
  • a stout pair of walking shoes - don't wear out your smart work shoes
  • a shoulder bag - suitable for light loads, for heavier loads get a comfy rucksack
  • a pac-a-mac - usually no need for a coat when you're walking, unless it's winter
  • a wooly hat and gloves - for when it's cold
