Creative low-carbon, sustainable travel is the way. |
When fossil fuel based recreational travel becomes as rare as smoking in a car full of kids with the windows rolled up, those with the urge to venture far from home will have to come up with sustainable alternatives. Undoubtedly bicycles will be part of the solution.
Another home made bike trailer that looks simple enough to build on a utility trailer. |
I can't think of a more efficient and enjoyable mode of longer-distance travel than the bicycle. Once you add a funky trailer you have a method for getting places. A person could use such a set-up to get to a port in order to board a sailboat waiting to carry the traveler abroad, or to a train station to further their journey.
There are also businesses ready to get in on the future of travel. |
I see this as both a sustainability and obesity mitigation project. The only losers would be the dinosaur-dependent, fossilized old energy order.
Sleep above, storage below. |
Pedal power coupled with the energy of the wind will soon be the way for the conscientious recreational traveler. I can't think of a better or more enjoyable way to go.
Ha! We just returned from a cycle touring trip, Santa Cruz, CA to San Loius Obispo, CA. 7 days, mom, dad and 10 year old daughter. It was amazing and freeing- the ONLY way to experience the Big Sur coast......zero gallons of gas to boot!
