Bicycle Hoist

People across Britain are invited to get on their bikes in a bid to help save the environment.

An example of these are the people who live in Nottingham, who were invited to use two wheels instead of their normal four, as the annual greenweek binds to speed this week.

Three weeks of events and outreach programs will be held from May 23 to June 14, with local people to reduce their carbon footprint.

A number of cycling will be organized, managed by the Transition West Bridgford, which aims to encourage people to take the bike.

Karina Wells, the organization said: "Cycling ticks many boxes - it is healthy, it is very easy, it's not too expensive to get a bike and you can do very long distances in short periods of time. "

New technology led to new environmental standards

The desire to ride a bike, just after the new bike commuter friendly has been announced. The cycle of Go, a city folding bike is fully functional, a prototype pre-production that is ready to go on sale in the UK for £ 1100.

Each element of the motorcycle was designed to encourage more people to buy it and use it instead of a car, especially when going to work every day.

The chain is fully enclosed and requires no maintenance. The battery is unobtrusive and easy to remove for charging, while the frame and wheels are lightweight magnesium.

The bike rider is not slow, because it can reach speeds of up to 15 mph and its range can reach 10 miles on battery power alone. When he reached the destination trip, it can be easily removed without the need for tools.

A spokesman for the Environmental Transport Association (ETA) said: "The cycle of Go is a very beautiful design, practical and affordable electric vehicle - a perfect alternative to cars and public transport for commuters. "

bicycle theft

With many members of the public already opted for the use of bicycles, and that number will grow as people become aware of environmental issues, theft of bicycles is expected to become more common placed.

Consequently, people were invited to buy motorcycle insurance, especially as the warm weather may encourage crime cycling. This is because more people use their bikes and leave their sheds unlocked or cycles.

Therefore, in an attempt to reduce thefts of bicycles, a designer has developed the perfect bike lock device to keep two wheels with its rightful owner.

Dominic Hargreaves, a student at the Royal College of Art came up with his design of a bicycle storage winch, after having three bikes stolen.

The cradle of bicycle can be mounted on a wall and is connected to a winch which reduces the ground by remote control.

The front wheel is placed in a cradle and locked in position. The crane then pulls the bike 2.5 meters along the wall - safely out of reach of thieves. There are plans for an industrial version for use outside of the tube and train stations.

A spokesman for the Environmental Transport Association (ETA) said: "This idea, wonderfully simple, also solves the problem of finding space for the storage of bicycles in urban areas."
