“Since the bicycle makes little demand on material or energy resources, contributes little to pollution, makes a positive contribution to health and causes little death or injury, it can be regarded as the most benevolent of machines.” Here’s the article by @carltonreid.com HT @sciam.bsky.social

I’m over 1000 miles into my #PhDbyBike and have visited 19 farms across 7 counties, so far! I’m still looking to speak with women involved in large-scale horticulture and dairy, as well as pig and poultry farming! If you know anyone who might be interested, please do share the project with them!

My drawing, 'Sport or transport', illustrating the difference in posture between a bike used for sporting purposes, and one used for transport. There's a place for both, of course. [Cartoon taken from 'From A to B', published by Bloomsbury] Thanks for this discussion, @kendrawrites.com

Black and white cartoon illustrating the difference between a bike used for sport, and one used for transport. Sport bike is fairly fast, posture tending towards horizontal, clothing is various items of kit. Transport bike is not quite so fast, posture often quite vertical, and you can wear your normal clothes. Both are fun and healthy.

It's actually deeper than that. The standard Dutch bike is upright. This gives you a better view of where you're cycling. It also means you're less likely to flip over the handle bars. It also reduces bodily stress. Most US bikes are built on sport bikes and thats why your back hurts
