ABOUT THIS VIDEO
Portland's Jonathan Maus has successfully formed a career around his
passion for bicycling and his respect for a clean planet. By founding
bikeportland.org, bikers from all backgrounds have a source of news
about all-things-bikes, from kids events to the best bike routes to
community-based rules for bikers. So thanks to Jonathan and his vision,
bikers from all backgrounds are united by a single passion that has a
multiple of benefits. DIG DEEPER
- Find out more about Jonathan and how he successfully turned his
passion into a career with bikeportland.org.
- Oregon's nonprofit Bicycle
Transportation Alliance (BTA) is working to promote bicycling as a
clean & healthy transportation alternative, and improve bicycling
conditions
in Oregon and SW Washington.
- Encourage businesses in
your community to join the Bicycle
Benefits program, a project from visionary Ian Klepetar. In
addition, support businesses that use bicycles (or other alternative
forms of transportation) for local deliveries.
- Visit the “bike website” for
practically any information
related to bicycles, including repair, maintenance and tips on bikes
& dogs.
- The average passenger car
emits about one pound of carbon dioxide (CO2)
for every mile traveled. Reduce your carbon footprint by opting for your
bike. Even if it’s just for a few local errands a week, those trips add
up. But please, don’t forget your helmet, lights and bike safety
protocols.
- Organize a bike day in your neighborhood. Plan a day
to encourage people to ride a bike, either to work or recreationally.
If people see others on bicycles it might encourage them to join the
movement.
- To be the ultimate green bike enthusiast, buy a bike
made from eco-friendly materials, such as bamboo. Calfee Design
is one source for eco-friendly and durable bikes.
