Although many issues were brought up regarding the damaging effects of automobiles, one that I’ve never seen is the effect of speed. This might be only my opinion, but having had a carectomy five years ago, I can attest to the physical and mental health benefits of reduced speed in my life. If I want cardiovascular exercise I can still go 18-20 miles per hour over short distances, but anything over that is not healthy for the human nervous system. As I said, just my opinion, and certainly there are exceptions to that idea.

But speed plays into a culture where excitement, constant change, and being busy are considered desirable. When once you have had the experience of the incredible constant change of life which is happening within and without ( not that there’s any difference even if you are standing still, you never want to go back to that other idiocy.

Take a minute to stop somewhere on your commute. It doesn’t matter where, but it’s nice if it’s near nature. Focus on your sense perceptions – what the air feels like, sounds, smells, etc. You might have an intense rush that is at once stillness and vibrantly active. That’s it. No speed required.

Gavin,
Here in Incheon we have some good bicycle trails for recreational use. But for bike commuters we have haphazard application of bike routes and local business people and their customers abusing these pubic facilities by parking their garbage, equipment, tools, SUVs, food stands, etc. on the bike lanes. There is a lot of potential for bicycling to make an impact in reducing pollution and dependence on imported oil. All of Korea’s oil is purchased from overseas sources using US dollars… an issue I would think the government would have more visible interest in.
Do you have any ideas on how can we help the Korean government realize the importance of creating safe and appropriately planned bicycle routes in infrastructure projects? And for local government to enforce traffic laws protecting those who use them?
