As a kid i always liked motorcycles. There's something very freeing about riding them which you cannot get in a car. When I was 17, i started to learn riding by myself. Later one of my elder brother, helped me how to ride in heavy traffic, which is common occurrence in india. Today I'm grateful for knowing how to ride bikes effectively. Yesterday, i look this shot which i found quite pretty.

The Mamachari, pictured below with an electric motor, is great for getting around with kids. When the kids get too big you can remove the seat and put pannier bags or a basket on the back. I have seen some with a second child seat on the front. Bikeshares could add some of these to their fleet. Mamachari is a compound slang word in Japanese. Charinko is slang for bicycle because of the bell sound "cha-rin" and of course mama is English.

Our politicians keep telling us what we want or don't want, but when it comes down to it, most people know that cities need to be more green.

Good for you, Hobart, following similar recent stories in Paris and Vancouver.
