- Adam Stones attended Sherborne School in the 90s. A life-changing bike ride across the USA prompted his entry into journalism, and, later, into social change communications. He now lives and works in Amsterdam, and will be advocating for cycling as an agent of social change. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Excellent presentation. I made the change to bike this year and everything he said is accurate. Amazing transformation!
Where do i sign. That is progress and a world i want to live in.
A noble set of goals. I hope he is successful. I've been riding for 65 years. I still enjoy it immensely. And I have seen the analogy of birds in flight. Bicycling is as close as we can get to the illusion of flight. It takes a little practice and you have to keep your head up. But, even if you don't, it is still worthwhile.
So we’ll said! I’ve only been riding for transportation and fun this past year…. I feel the best I’ve felt in years!
I really hope we in England embrace cycling more. I live on my bike and wouldn't be without it.
I was working in Singapore 6 years ago. They are saying that they cannot improve bicycle infrastructure, because the country is too small.
Bullocks!
When they were building a small area near my workplace for residential and business use, there were 3 roads crossing the area; all with 3 lanes and 3 exit points requiring more traffic lights.
One exit and bicycle paths were oh so easy. They don't think the right way.
I'm currently working on a presentation on this topic for my English lessons, thanks to you. Great talk and good luck spreading the word!
Fourteen comments in two years...we have a long way to go folks.
That would be CZcams..they don't like this type of content
This sound is for me happy & quiet childhood with a great hope & love & sincere feelings 🌸🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲
I didn't know what to expect before I watched this video. I was a bit skeptical as to how good of a video it could be. It surprised me in a very good way! The facts/points you bring up are very new to me and I'll bet new to the majority of people. You're doing a great thing for people, businesses, the Earth....
I'm going to contribute to your plan as much as I can. It's a win win for everyone! Thank you for all the time and effort you put into this, you should be very proud of yourself! You're the kind of person the world needs more of! Again, great job and many thanks for what you are doing!!
PS where can I get a bike bell/time machine? That is truly amazing! 🤣
I'm a poor working American I ride my bicycle everyday
Boris needs to see this
Now is march 2024. I agree with the speaker. I do my own trying to get some changes in my comunity.
Lol, at the guy falling asleep 🤣
What time on vid lol??
Loved it !!!!!!!
I have learned how to drive a car but not ride a bike, I really like to learn but I am scared as the bike lanes are either too narrow or none existence at all, I do hope in the near future there will be a dedicated bike lane somewhere here in Hampshire, not just for leisure or sport, but to go to work or to the shop, this will also boost local sales.
How’s it going?
I’ll do the opposite this year. Good luck! Once you got it, you’ll want to be riding everyday
Great! Thanks!
Great vision for the future Adam! Sincerely hope it happens. Some European cities are already taking up the mantle.
lol at 7:59 where a slightly tubby bloke is clearly not feeling it: arms crossed and trying not to fall asleep.
Great talk though, and absolutely spot on (although he really should say 'cycle' rather than 'bicycle' as that includes the people that use trikes and quads and trailers). Let's hope that this year's 'Gear Change' doc from the govt along with Active Travel England is enough to really get the necessary change happening. Things are significantly more hopeful than they were when Adam gave this talk.
You live more in 5 minutes on a bike than most people do there whole life's
Welcome to the future!
If even a fraction of the billions, likely trillions of dollars that have been put into "GREEN" energy initiatives around the world were put into building cycling as transportation networks in our cities the value of the ROI would be many times the cost of implementation... from the cost savings related to increased demand for denser core housing, decreased roadway expansion and maintenance costs to the massive cost savings from reduced obesity rates and a healthier population both physically and mentally.
..."Cycling adds years to life and life to years" I like that.
🤘
Well as an Indian.... Where my country men get killed by cars and bikes..... I'd prefer only bicycles O roads
maybe UK should ban bicycles on public places same as they baned electric scooters
