In 1997, in San Andrés Itzapa in Guatemala, Maya Pedal Association began recycling scraps of bicycles into Bicimáquinas.
Bicimáquinas are pedal-powered blenders, washing machines and threshing machines, eliminating the need for fuel and electricity. Pumps are also possible, and are capable of extracting 30 liters of water per minute from 30-meter deep wells (electronic pumps reach just to 12 meters).
The idea of these ingenious contraptions emerged from the desire to help the farming families of the San Andrés community. The issue that gave rise to Maya Pedal was the expense and shortage of electricity and fuel in the village.
Carlos and Cesar, creators of Maya Pedal, have achieved an extraordinary result: a worthy project that does not pollute and is extremely fascinating in its involvement of volunteers from around the world who are building a fantastic pedal revolution.

"A whole £15 million across the country . . . . WHOOPTY FUCKING DOO!!!
Thanks for showing you don't give a shit. £15 million is NOTHING. You know what £15 million will buy, a few coats of paint from companies connected to people in Government, charging well over the odds for poorly designed and implemented cycle lanes.
We need to have mass protests in every city across the UK. The dutch got their infrastructure by direct action and it's the only way we will too."

Support The Times's campaign for Cities fit for Cycling http://thetim.es/... At a road junction in London cyclists risk life and limb to bring some semblance of civilisation to this vehicle-dominated city. Buses to the left of them, postal vans to the right of them, the riders expose the almost total absence of bicycle infrastructure. Watch this and compare with http://www.youtub... on commuter cycling in Copenhagen. Boris you've got to try harder! Jan Gehl, we need you! The film comprises clips of cyclists and cars as they move eastwards across the junction of Grays Inn Road and Theobalds Road. Behind the camera is a fork to the right onto Rosebery Avenue so that cars frequently have to move across the path of cyclists.

"There is no way to stop your bike being stolen, as shown even the best locks can be cut like butter or someone can use an angle grinder and nobody gives a shit (be that apathy or not wanting to risk injury, which is fair enough).
All you can do is make your bike less attractive than the others parked next to it. That means a good lock or two and making sure it's secured properly. Don't have a really nice bike that locked outside for hours, just get a cheap bike.
Also, get fully insured."
