Bicycle (part 2)

You may have noticed that this is my second bicycle post this year which means this form of transportation is becoming more popular. In order to raise more awareness on bicycles though there are going to be bicycle attractions. These attractions include parking spaces, maps, and repair stations. The benefit of riding bikes in specific area include discounts and promotions. Los Angeles will be the first district to do this already having businesses sign to agree with regulations. Institutes and neighborhoods are agreeing to make bicycle riding more popular and friendly. This is a LADOT Bicycle Friendly Business District program.

Stylish Cardboard

Everyone uses cardboard in their own way, but it is odd to see it in the form of a chair. Re-ply has up cycled cardboard into fashionable chairs which are eco friendly and customizable. The designer used his old habits of playing with paper to come up with the idea of a customizable cardboard chair. Not only is this cardboard chair strong enough to support your weight and is comfortable, but also can recline and rock back and forth. when viewing the finished product most people cant believe that it is only cardboard. these chairs are in stores now in two colors of choice: silver or blue. although this product may be environmentally friendly many people as myself would like to be able to chose from a larger variety of colors as well as patterns.

Should the regulated speed limit be changed?

When cars and pedestrians are near it is common sense to suppose that the speed limit is low. Lower speed limits are known to cause less deaths which is very high in big cities. Unfortunately it is the complete opposite, because the speed limits are as high as 40mph. Many cities such as New York were made for walkers and it is the best form of transportation due to traffic. In order to keep it safe for walkers government officials should revise the suggested speed limit.
