E-bikes are freewheeling through rain and over hills, with huge promise for sustainable transport in rural tourist areas

Instead of driving back to my accommodation, I travelled 40km through the Lake District on an e-bike and I was surprised by how easy it was, even after a physically demanding day.

Key Points: 
  • Instead of driving back to my accommodation, I travelled 40km through the Lake District on an e-bike and I was surprised by how easy it was, even after a physically demanding day.
  • Most of the Lake District National Park’s 18 million annual visitors travel by car.
  • But e-bikes could transform the way people experience rural areas like this, and reduce the negative environmental effects of tourism on rural areas.

To the hills

  • These survey respondents included residents and visitors, e-bike owners and those who didn’t use e-bikes.
  • So much transport research regards hills and rain as barriers to active travel.
  • Another family found it really easy to get up the hills, even with children tagging along behind the bikes.
  • Our recommendation is that planners try to think differently about hills and weather as they need not be a barrier to active travel.

Harnessing e-pedal power

  • E-bikes may give more flexibility where public transport is poor and our respondents commented on poor public transport serving relatively few places.
  • With e-bikes being expensive, there was a strong desire among respondents for more secure e-bike storage in Lakeland towns and villages.
  • Accommodation and hospitality providers could offer more secure storage or parking and other facilities such as battery recharging.

Quieter valleys

  • Our research showed strong support for restricting tourist cars in popular valleys such as Borrowdale and Langdale.
  • Providing e-bikes alongside public transport and also restricting car access to some valleys could help rural areas become more sustainable, in the Lake District and beyond.

WESTMINSTER, Colo., Feb. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanced Space, a leading space tech solutions company, is pleased to announce that CAPSTONE™ – the Cislunar Autonomous Positioning System Technology Operations and Navigation Experiment – continues to be "The Little Satellite That Could" as it flies near the Moon over 440 days. The spacecraft is conducting operations in Near Rectilinear Halo Orbit (NRHO); achieving record-long mission operational "up times;" conducting experiments that demonstrate its usefulness for position, navigation, and timing (PNT); and for testing software at the Moon.

Key Points: 
  • CAPSTONE™ continues to be “The Little Satellite That Could” as it flies near the Moon for 445 days.
  • The 112 days were interrupted by a system reset caused by a ground station being unavailable as scheduled.
  • On the positive side, this brief reset meant that the spacecraft operated as designed when it didn't hear from us.
  • Currently, CAPSTONE is using the NASA DSN ground architecture, but other ground segments could be demonstrated.
