Riding the bus, the train, a bike, and taking a walk. Song by John Akre and Beth Peloff. Animation by John. sloppyfilms.com

In yet another in a series of podcasts from the Towards Car-free Cities Conference in Portland last June, we examine the transformational power of human fueled machines on the urban landscape. I recorded a workshop on Pedicabs with Steve Meyer of Main Street Pedi-cabs, Peter Meitzler of Manhattan Rickshaw, filmaker Fred Soignan, and Jonathan Magnes of PDX Pedicabs.

Gil Peñalosa kicks off the World Car-free Network's first ever conference in the United States with an inspirational Keynote address. Bikescape recorded it and attended the press conference that followed. As Commissioner of Parks, Sports and Recreation Peñalosa initiated Bogata Columbia's trailblazing Ciclovias, where each Sunday ninety one km of streets are returned to the commons for non-motorized use. 1.5 Million people use the ciclovias each week as the practice migrates to Paris, Portland, New York and San Francisco. Gill has spent five years in Mississauga Canada as commissioner of Parks and Recreation coming up with the thirty year Strategic Placemaking Initiative. He is a senior associate with The Project for Public Spaces, The executive director of Walk and Bike for Life, a senior consultant for Gill Architects, and sits on the boards of American Trails, the City Parks Alliance, the International Sport and Culture Association and the advisory committee of America Walks.

Movie by Elizabeth Press of Streetfilms The opening event at the Towards Car-free Cities Conference in Portland, Oregon was the depaving of a 3000 sq foot parking lot. In its place will grow a community garden along with bike parking and a water catchment system. We cover the asphalt removal, then go on a tour of past depaving sites. Bikescape was there to cover as much of the rest of the conference as one little podcaster could. Stay tuned for many more posts on this important get-together. The closing song, Chicken or Beef was written and performed by Reptet at the bike art show at Portland City Hall. I traveled with two San Franciscans who are blogging about the conference. Steve Jones is with the San Francisco Bay Guardian and is posting on their politics blog and Brian Smith runs the excellent Car Free USA blog. Download the mp3 or subscribe to Bikescape in itunes

So, we re starting to make that plunge towards conserving our automobile use.  As you may be aware from previous episodes, Amy is already a telecommuter, so this one falls mostly to Rhett.  Just by taking a bike for his daily commute and changing his lifestyle around slightly (read: no going home for lunch), he s able to carve off a good 90 miles a week.  That might not sound like much, but he really doesn t drive very much as it is.  If we re not going on a road trip (which is rare), then that s probably at least a 50% reduction. Commuting and running errands with a bicycle is pretty easy.  Just hop over to t or your local bike shop and get a nice, sturdy, used bike then replace the mountain bike tires with slicks designed for use on the roads.  A couple of small and simple tools to go with it, and you ve got a vehicle that s mighty fun, healthy, and green to ride. Oh, and did we mention it s the most energy efficient mode of transport?  Yes, even if you take a very pessimistic analysis, it is not only more efficient than virtually any other choice in ground transport, but shaping your lifestyle around a bike encourages conservation.  Formats available: Quicktime (.mov), MPEG-4 Video (.m4v) Tags: bike, bicycle, commute, bicycle commute, green, green lifestyle, new urbanism, travel
