Electric bikes are the most climate-friendly way to travel

Meandering around Chapel Hill, it is hard to miss the plethora of hybrid, plug-in hybrids, and electric cars in driveways, shopping centers, and parked on the street. On just about every block you’ll see a Tesla, which may have displaced Toyota’s Prius as the favored vehicle of the town’s environmen

After traveling 4,500 miles, I have spent less than $5 on electricity. Five dollars! That’s less than a cost of a mocha latte something at Starbucks. That is astounding. That’s less than the cost of two gallons of gas. It means that on days I bike the 10 miles to and from work, I’m spending less than one cent on electricity to get there. And about half the time, I’m carting a bike cargo trailer behind me (often full of groceries) which means it’s a heavier load for the bike to carry.

    Są spoko, ale koszt ekologiczny wyprodukowania i utylizacji baterii jest spory. Jeśli ma aluminiową ramę, to taki koszt jest chyba 15 razy większy niż w przypadku ramy stalowej. Najbardziej przyjazne dla środowiska są oczywiście zwykłe rowery, ze stalową ramą.
