"Bicycology is a collective formed by riders who wanted to build on their shared experience of the 2005 G8 Bike Ride and organise future events of a similar nature. Like so many people today, Bicycologists believe that our environmental impact on the planet is currently unsustainable. We desperately need to cut our levels of all forms of pollution - not just CO2 - to create a greener, safer world. Cycling can be a viable alternative to car use, but we need to change the perception of the bike, and build a physical and cultural space where cyclists can feel safe and respected.But cycling is about more than the environment. Cars epitomize the automised society we live in. Drivers close themsleves inside a box, and amongst hundreds of other road users, the car owner is alone. Cycling encourages community and reciprocity: without a surrounding metal enclosure, the cyclist feels closer to the things around her."

Did you hear about the break through in solar panel technology? Here in America a company made a huge solar panel that captures 43% of the sunlight and turns it into direct electricity instead of just 14%. The Weather Channel showed a quick clip about it.
Also I love to bike ride it's my main alternative to transportation, however it's dangerous though to bike ride here in Texas because of the bad heat and humidity I just came close to having a bad heat stroke and not only that it's flooding terribly here, everything is underwater. We've had rain nonstop since June, here and there the days will have sunshine but there hasn't been many.
I have a quick question, I'm wondering if you knew more because I find much information about it but I wanted your advice. Anyways, I'm a smoker and I'm wondering how much carbon monoxide does one cigarette release into the air? And I'm sorry I'm a smoker, but I've been smoking for a long while and it's too hard to quit at the time being.
Later :)
