A couple of people at work enjoy riding bikes, Andy rides to work and Richard enjoys off roading, a couple of people including myself catch a bus to work. So somehow combining the two to further help congestion and pollution would be a great idea.

Designers Marten Wallgren have come up with the concept of creating a car-free-zone in the central of London, called London Garden.

The energy created from riding a bike would be used to power a bus that is running on an electric cell. Therefore your efforts to ride in to town will be like a currency to get you a bus or even taxi home. This creates, sorry to use the term ‘cycle’ keeping you fit, helping the environment and saving money.

The entire concept does sound a bit far out but if we want to keep congestion to a minimum and stop destroying the environment then I think it’s something that needs to be considered.
