  • CYCLING to WORK SESTRAN TEXT REV:165X119mm
    CYCLING TO WORK Cycling is the often the fastest, always the healthiest and, apart from walking, the most environmentally sustainable form of transport. Cycling has many benefits for both the individual cyclist and society as a whole. To name but a few: • For journeys up to 3 miles, particularly in towns, cycling is usually the fastest way of getting from A to B • Switching from using the car to cycling for some trips will reduce climate change emissions and saves you a lot of money; and • Cycling allows you to integrate some healthy activity into your daily routine, helping you lose weight and get fitter. SEStran, the South East of Scotland Transport Partnership, and its eight partner authorities – Clackmannanshire, East Lothian, Edinburgh, Falkirk, Fife, Midlothian, Scottish Borders and West Lothian – are working together to get more people cycling more often, particularly for trips to the shop, work or school. Cycling also helps to achieve a number of important local, regional and national targets. For example, cycling: • enables many people without a car to find and get to work; • helps the government to fulfill its climate change obligations Cycling by reducing air pollution from traffic; • improves road and community safety and health; to Work • reduces travel-related pollution and noise; and • generally increases transport choices and reduces dependency on the private car.

In his formal plan for the Insti­ tution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, com­ mencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of professional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields.

    2018 BICYCLES & ACCESSORIES Hi, it’s me, your Le Grand citybike. I am delighted that you’ve selected me for the city rides. Tell me please, what did attract you to me? Was it my urban functionality, my timeless style or maybe this unique turquoise colour? Did you know that my frame was designed in Poland by the Kross’s designers? This distinguishes me from the other bicycles available on the market. Specialists have paid attention to each slightest detail, in order to match my graphics with the colour of the saddle, grips and basket liner. I remind you that I am a natural born urban beast. My standard equipment will make your everyday commutes around the city e ortless: full fenders protect your clothes from the rain, smart kickstand enables to “park” me easily and chainguard keeps your skirt clean and fl ying. Do you remember fi rst bicycles from the beginning of the XX century? These are my grand- grandparents. Bikes changed a lot after that time – defi nitely I am a modern product, however, you will still notice the retro spirit of those past times in my frame line. And now surprise time: this year some of my modern friends decided to keep up with the times and take advantage of electric assistance. You don’t believe me? Have a look at the next pages! 02 www.legrandbikes.com # BIKECITYLIFE 03 Hallo, hier bin ich dein Stadtrad Le Grand. Ich freue mich, du mich als den Gefährten von Stadtfahrten gewählt hast. Sag’ bitte, was dich in mir beeindruckt hat?
