Cycling is considered one of the most efficient ways to travel due to its small carbon
footprint. Many people are happy to ride a bike in their everyday life. However,
better infrastructure (基本设施) and a cultural shift are needed to ensure that more
people will ride a bike. Bike kitchens are part of a worldwide movement that can
help with such a challenge.
In bike kitchens, tools, ud parts, and repair assistance are provided to their
members. They donate bikes and have become spaces for social exchange. They
also make efforts to improve basic infrastructure, which plays a key role in ensuring
the safety and comfort of cyclists in areas such as the development of bike lanes
and bike parking. But that alone is not enough. Building a cycling culture that is
socially accepted to most, means having significant amounts of people developing
skills of riding bikes.
Cycling has various benefits like promoting physical and mental health. More
importantly, the infrastructure needed for bikes doesn't require a huge budget.
Besides, bicycles are the most practical and sustainable means of travel for short
and medium distance, and also for recreation and sport. Therefore, a cycling culture
appears urgent and significant. For individuals in many developed countries,
transport can be the largest part of their carbon footprint. Transport accounts for
about one-fifth of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. For short or medium
distances, bikes are one of the lowest-carbon ways to travel. Even more shockingly,
using a bike instead of a car for short trips would reduce a person's travel emissions
by 75 percent.
Bike kitchens in particular, extend the lifespan of bikes and their parts. They help
build a community economy that prevents waste generation, since most parts are
condhand, fixed, or reud. Either through the supply of tools, parts, workshops,
fixing ssions, or bikes for free, bike kitchens encourage a more sustainable way of
traveling that makes cities friendlier, while strengthening community values.
