「濁水溪自行車道設計賽」的一些連想 II
What makes a bike path great?

什麼因素使一個自行車道比別的自行車道優秀?  什麼樣的自行車道(或行人步道)是較好的?  What makes a bike path good?  What makes it better than others?

There are many considerations that affect how I decide to ride in one path instead of another.  In this short post,  I talk bout the desirability of exclusivity (禁行車輛), fragrance (香), and beautiful scenery (風景美麗).  I hope to follow up with other elements that make bike paths great, such as conveniences and safety.

In the following, underneath each picture (along a bike path) is a link that shows the picture's location with a Google map.

「濁水溪自行車道設計賽」的一些連想

  • 如果台塑六輕的煙囪繼續在雲林麥寮污染空氣, 政府有義務教導人民不在雲林附近活動, 包括不到濁水溪自行車道上呼吸不乾淨的空氣.  所以,  濁水溪自行車道 對人民健康有益的第一條件是台塑六輕的煙囪必須停止排氣.
  • 同理, 為了不傷害自行車道使用者的健康, 台灣人應停止咨意焚燒物件的習慣, 例如隨意焚燒收成後的田園, 燒垃圾, 燒輪胎等.
Imagine a slightly more dramatic「麥寮自行車道設計賽」或 [車諾比自行車道設計賽].    I think 麥寮自行車道 will be as empty as 麥寮的長庚醫院: 空無一人, as the following picture shows.

到麥寮自行車道, 是要鍛鍊身體, 享受人生, 還是找死?
