Here’s some great tips on traveling green in Europe. I can relate to this when I used to live in South Korea, I resorted to a really slow 125cc sportsbike to get through all the traffic, it’s a good thing I am still alive though.
| Scooters were the preferred mode of transportation in the narrow streets of Madrid and Seville, Spain, as well as Lisbon, Portugal. While there isn’t a helmet law, most riders sported helmets in the heavily congested city of Madrid. The upscale city also offers an easily accessible underground and affordable subway system. The Sunday that I visited Madrid, thousands of bicyclists swarmed the Paseo de la Castellana that had been closed to cars for the event. I watched from my club room at the Intercontinental as the bicyclists demonstrated their solidarity in demanding bike lanes for riders. Unfortunately, there is not much room to expand for bicycle lanes in downtown Madrid. |
