Green is in, we're told. Big carbon footprints are out. But while Pierre in Paris is pedaling his Vélib along the boulevards, studious Seattle Stu will soon be riding an electric scooter-bike across the U-Dub campus.
Yup, given the opportunity to promote healthy green bikes, U-Dub's planners fell for a pitch from Colorado's Intrago for a motorized "transportation solution." Non-polluting they may be, but even a modest electric putt-putt is five or six times as expensive as pedal-powered bikes. Hardly a step in the right direction.
