Reflection QuestionEducation & Livelihood Go by BikeHow does using human-powered transportation make you feel compared to using other methods of transportation?
Barbara Kruijd 4/05/2023 11:48 PMAlthough sometimes reluctant to take the bike, everyday I will be suprised with something beautiful I see on my way to the office and back, sun between the trees, birds warming in the sun, fog on the canal. My mind gets more relaxed than when I would go by car and I would miss all this beauty.-
Alexander König 4/10/2023 10:22 AMThank you for sharing! So true, being directly in nature and not in a car etc. connects us with our surroundings, we see, hear and even smell a lot which makes us appreciating all the details around us.
