We suggest the prohibition of Manhattan Iceland all cars except for buses, small taxis, vehicles for essential services (doctor, police, hygiene, vans, etc.) and truck light industrial uses.
The situation is intolerable and all other proposed solutions of which are inefficient, annoying, unhealthy, nonurban or impractical.

JSL films is giving away two bicycles in a competition for people who are ready to write your local government (Mayor or City Council) and the other bike to a European winners wheel sets with five ideas locally implemented with forms of transportation that reduce global warming. go to a North American winner (a Breezer and an Pencil Omega, or).
