Tour de Stanley Park (Critical Mass Vancouver)
June 28, 2008
A few of us went to go biking at Stanley Park yesterday and just when we got there, this massive group of bikers started blocking traffic and took over the road. There must have been at least a couple thousand of them. Traffic was held up for 20+ minutes as the bikers made their way through.
I’d hate to be one of those people stuck in their car in the 30 degree heat!
This video was taken at the intersection of Denman and West Georgia.
Critical Mass is a grassroots reclamation of public space — a bike ride and skate — held the last Friday of every month. You are invited to enjoy the safety and comfort in the car-free space that we create by simply riding together! Bicycles, skateboards, rollerskates, self propelled couches, and any other form of human powered locomotion are all welcomed!

BMW’s Hydrogen Car Cleans The Air as You Drive

Inhabitat » BMW’s Hydrogen Car Cleans The Air as You Drive
What if your car consumed carbon monoxide instead of spewing it out? Just such a vehicle was unveiled at last month’s SAE Congress in Detroit, which showcased some exciting green trends in the automotive industry. BMW stole the spotlight with its hydrogen-powered 7-series sedan that emits less carbon monoxide than is present in its environment. The car’s engine breaks down and converts carbon monoxide, essentially cleaning the air as it is driven.
I love BMW’s. It’s too bad this is only available on the uber expensive 7-series.
