As an environmentalist, I am always looking for new and effective ways to help preserve our planet. As a geek, I am always excited when new technology makes that possible. As a lazy earthling, I am usually a lot more interested if these little changes don't affect my way of living too much.
Enter The Myxercycle, an electric bike project made possible thanks to the folks over at Myxer. They believe that burning dead dinosaur juice just to go pick up some groceries or commute to work is unnecessary... as do I. So they've hooked me up with a new ride and a new way to share my music as ringtones!
The beginning of this whole experiment starts with the parts. Here’s what it takes to create a gas-free ride. Or, at least, here are all the bits and pieces I’ll need to put together on the island.
The Myxercycle was made possible by the folks over at Myxer. Go with it!

If you’ve caught some of my previous posts on Environmental Issues, you’re probably aware that I’m keenly interested in protecting the environment. I’m also keenly interested in not being a pain in the ass about it- I’m not going to tell you to move into a house made of cow dung and become a vegan because it’s the only way to live correctly.
I’m a geek, for heron’s sake, I prefer the high-tech methods of saving the world. And I don’t want my house to smell like poo.
So on the less-extreme side of environmentalism, I recently partnered with an awesome company named Myxer
to bring you a whole series of videos and posts about some alternative transportation. It’s graceful, it’s technological, and it’s a lot cheaper than a Prius (a hell of a lot cheaper than a Tesla).
Keep your eyes here for more of what I’m calling The Myxercycle. I’ll be posting some videos soon!
