As we enter 2020, conversations about sustainability and the economy are of growing importance. Globally and locally people have started seeking new ways of commuting that do not involve a personal car.
Economic: It’s expensive to maintain a vehicle, to pay for insurance, petrol, and the ever-increasing parking costs.
Enjoyment: It’s fun to use another form of transport, being stuck in traffic can be a mind-destroying waste of life.
Environment: The carbon and other waste costs to the environment are astronomical. Alternatives to cars are almost always better for the environment.
Dj Thembela Dili and our editor Brett are both cycling commuters. They mounted their trusty steeds, a 1989 Peugeot Iseran HLE and a 1996 Gary Fisher Wahoo, to discuss the joys and pitfalls of commuter cycling.
