]]> Comment on Costa Rica – Dolphins, Bicycles, and ACONVIVIR by Hansel http://rideforclimate.com/blog/?p=263&cpage=1#comment-244 Hansel Thu, 22 Jul 2010 01:55:47 +0000 http://rideforclimate.com/blog/?p=263#comment-244 David, I am in the process of applying for a $15,000 photography grant and I am working on a proposal for a photography assignment somewhere in the world where I can use my photography skills to bring attention to an economic or social issue. I am interested in bringing attention to the water issues (global warming) in Peru and I read about your travels there. I was wondering if you could point me to a more specific place in Peru where I can focus my efforts. A specific town, village, or people? I want to create a website for that specific place and document it photographically, as well with locals stories, and then return to that place 10-20 years from now to do an update on the changes. Any help you can provide would be much appreciated. Hansel David,

Here's the full montymedia of our morning on the Bike Friday website, including movie: http://www.bikefriday.com/rideforclimate/02 Hope you get to visit our tikit dealer in Copenhagen - the Danish Cyclists Federation http://www.bikefriday.com/dealers/dansk What gives me hope? Small wheeled folding bikes - fun and useful whether going fast or slow. A car is only fun when it's going fast. All the more reason to ride. And hey, you can get your leg over a folder when you're 64, 74, 84, 94 ... Burn carbs, not hydrocarbs!

I'm surprised it's taken so long for this movement to actually get started. I guess it's our youth who see this problem more clearly. It's going to be them who hold our world leaders feet to the fire and make positive things occur. Scott I’ve been a tree hugger most of my 72 years.

Now before anyone tries to wag a finger on your carbon emissions from flying as someone invariably will, I'll beat them to it and reveal that you've got a folding bike in your suitcase for getting around Copenhagen - and a borrowed one at that ... your dad's! (and we still don't know his real name other than it's Pops). So now that Pops has given you the 'keys to his Bike Friday' for the week, some 20,000+ Friday folk will be hanging over their handlebars awaiting your tales. Here's our piece about you: http://community.bikefriday.com/rideforclimate I've encouraged them to answer your question: "What gives you hope that we can solve global warming?" My biased answer - personal, human-powered transportation - a smaller tireprint all round. Thanks for being a big part of the Bike Friday Expanded Mission http://www.bikefriday.com/mission Burn carbs, not hydrocarbs!
