Guest Blog: York Bike Belles
After the hottest-ever 40C heatwaves this July, are you keen to help tackle the climate crisis?
Here’s one way. How about switching a regular driving journey for walking, cycling or public transport, as part of York Bike Belles’ new ‘Car-Lite Living’ scheme. They offer FREE advice, personal route plans, and 1:1 friendly support on walks, rides or bus trips.
It’s a win – win. You’ll have the satisfaction of taking climate action, and enjoy many other benefits. Walking or cycling your regular journeys is an easy way to fit personal care into your daily life. You’ll feel healthier and happier. You’ll spend time outdoors, exercise in York’s beautiful environment, keep your travel affordable, meet new people in a friendly community, and enjoy life more!
Switching one regular journey might not seem much but it all adds up. Research has shown that “swapping the car for walking, cycling and e-biking even just one day a week makes a significant impact on personal carbon emissions in cities.”
