[sustran] A work of art that provokes thought

[eric britton]

Let me share this thoughtful note from Dave Holladay - on the confluence of
the tragic events in Japan, their eventual implications for transport (and
cycles, and cycling), and this week's   International Cycle Show in Taiwan -

This really provokes thought it needs to be widely viewed -

I posted your commentary noting paragraph 7 to those at the Bicycle Trade
Fair in Taiwan this week - 

 

Japan's position is relevant as barely a year ago the cycle industry around
the world shuddered as Taiwan was wracked by storms and production looked to
be threatened with a shut down for many weeks, creating massive supply chain
problems.

 

This could do so much to get production work back to the places where the
products are consumed
