    Yeah I am not doing that again. It was fun when I was single but not so much when you have kids. Yes I have done the sidecar thing and yes I have been to regions of the world where this is the norm. Not doing it again, all it takes is one accident and my family will be dead.

    I have an electric bike for those instances where I only need to transport myself and a backpack. But then again, I’ve got a few hectars of forest to take care of, family within a 100km radius and a girlfriend and a dog, so riding my bike is not always an option.

  Encourage investment in public transit.

    Yes, a noble idea, sure, but what do I do now with the ressources available to me? I am not a politician, people here laugh about the green party because most of them are farmers, land owners and factory workers, so voting green has some sort of meaning for the stats but doesn’t impact anything. I don’t own a company, I’m not responsible for public transport or any decisions related to it so what I can do is:

    • turn most of my appliances to running on electricity
    • make as much electricity as possible locally from renewables

    Hence, electric cars. Oh yeah, and taking the bike when possible, I do that.
