Changing Habits

Claudina on a forest 2 km from her house.

Claudina, the Spanish teacher, tell us her relationship with her bike!!

Interviewer: How many km do you travel by bike every day?
Claudina: I live 10 km far for my job so I usually do 20 km. But I use the bike when I go to the market or when I meet my friends too.

I: When did you become to change your habits?
C:I became to change my habits when we started this project. Really I realized how actions influence on the environment. This is the reason why I decided to leave my car and buy a bike.

I: How do you feel about it?
C: I feel very well. I feel more happy when I go to school. I encourage everyone to try this.

I: What is your secret for going so fast?
C: Oh! This is a good question. My bicycle has an electric engine and a battery. It is recharged like a mobile phone. This helps me to go more faster than by any other bike and climb the hills more easily. The energy that the engine and the batteries use comes from wind turbines that are on a forest 2 km from my house.
