Car-Sharing made simple

As far as we know, isanyonegoingto.com is the only social networking Car-Share site on the net. The people behind the service aim to encourage vehicle users to adopt smarter and safer driving behaviour, therefore reducing emissions and saving lives. Despite launching just a few months ago, they're already organising around twenty shared journeys every day - helping people get to big events like Glastonbury. People have met, dated, done business, and some members are now permanently sharing their commute to work.

It only takes a minute to sign up and you can state your intentions, i.e. business, leisure trips, holiday-share or event promotion.

If you're quick, you stand a chance of winning Glastonbury 2007 - The Movie DVD. Just send an email to success@isanyonegoingto.com with your user name, and +/-50 words on why you deserve one.

Pledge to use sustainable transport (and get an all-over tan)

Paul Garner, a self-proclaimed 'Naked Cyclist', has pledged to use sustainable transport for all local journeys (say under 3 miles), but only if 20 people in South East London will do the same. Click here for more info or to sign the pledge. You don't have to ride naked, but if that's your kind of thing you can join the World Naked Bike Ride on 9th June 2007. The Objectives of the World Naked Bike Ride are to:-
1. Protest against the global dependency on oil
2. Curb Car Culture
3. Obtain real rights for cyclists
4. Demonstrate the vulnerability of cyclists on city streets
5. Celebrate body Freedom

Start your own pledge and see how many other people in your local area are willing to do the same.

Most Dangerous Roads In The World?

Have you ever got home after a regular commute and realised that you don't really remember the journey? I do it all the time and I ride a bike through central London. Statistically, the most dangerous roads are whichever ones happen to be within a 5 mile radius of your house, i.e. the most familiar ones. These roads on the other hand are probably safe in the same way as fitting a dagger to your steering wheel and pointed at your heart is probably be a safer option than seatbelts, airbags and bike-helmets...
