Links

I've included quite a lot of links, some bike related, some not. During my travels I've developed a very keen interest in the environment. I've seen a huge amount of environmental problems travelling both in China and abroad. These issues have triggered me to start devouring any information I can find, and re evalute the impact my actions have on the planet.

I've included a few environmental links, just incase you fancy taking a look at what is really happening in the world, and what environmental things are being done to bring about positive changes. I hope they inspire you too.
