---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 8 May 1999 09:52:17 -0300 From: "Brian C. Bradley" <ax876@chebucto.ns.ca> In Denmark there are thousands of kilometres of cyclestiis (bicycle paths) both in and between the cities. Not everyone can afford (physically, mentally, financially) to use these paths, but they are there as at least a statement for alternatives. How many of these paths can you count in the Maritimes or anywhere else in Canada AS A SIGNIFICANT PROPORTION OF THE ALTERNATIVE PATHS? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 8 May 1999 12:42:24 Date: Sat, 8 May 1999 12:42:08 -0300 (ADT) From: Daniel Haran <ah813@chebucto.ns.ca> On Sat, 8 May 1999, Brian C.

(This thread seems the most promising to me. I'm getting really annoyed at the flaming party on this list- can we have a bit of decorum, please?) Brian, I wouldn't stop at just paths. The very way we design our human settlements will require long-range transport for the foreseeable future. i.e., why do we design cities for cars instead of humans? why do we encourage sprawl instead of walkable downtowns? We will certainly need better bike paths; I just don't want us to forget that we should eliminate most of the need... reduce before RE-cycle :-> Peace- Daniel. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, 9 May 1999 11:53:35 -0300 (ADT) From: "Brian C. Bradley" <ax876@chebucto.ns.ca> Then you may almost wish to be given the opportunity to ask the following question: "If you were involved in a serious accident at home or became critically ill (or other instance in which you needed immediate medical attention and care) would you like assistance in getting to the required attention to arrive on bicycles or skateboards to get you there ... or are motorized vehicles that consume fossil fuels permissible in this instance?;-). -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- You received this because you are subscribed to "sust-mar", the Sustainable Maritimes mailing list.
