绿色骑行（绿色英雄ECO HERO）①
10/22/2009 12:00 AM

在中国，骑单车恐怕是人人皆会的一项技能。然而，四轮驱动的普及让这种环保而健康的出行方式逐渐受了冷漠。
汽车释放的黑色烟雾让整个城市都阴霾起来。于是，有这么一些人，回归人力驱动，重新骑上了自行车。
金鸡独立，双手倒立，原地转身……这些动作你会做吗？
估计你会很不屑地说：毛毛雨啦！但是，如果必须要在自行车上做这些动作的话，你还觉得简单么？
然而，真有这么一位金发碧眼的外国美女，能轻松地驾驭单车，变换数十种高难动作，令你眼花缭乱！其实，她是一位环保领袖。她与她的单车同伴们，正用行动履行着无碳化出行的承诺。尹畅，林铁，月亮姐姐，麦小龙和苏菲也跟随伊泉，开始了自行车大游行。
在这期绿色英雄中，您将领略到自行车达人伊泉出神入化的车技，还有专属她和男友的一个轮子的浪漫。并且，主持人尹畅也将在独轮车上小试身手，她的车技如何呢？
当骑单车成为当红不让的极限运动，当骑单车成为健身房中动感无敌的项目，当韩国总统与伦敦市长也成为单车上班族时，当四轮到两轮成为一种文明的回归时，你还嫌自行车不够时尚吗？

In China, almost everyone knows how to ride a bike. However, along with the development of technology, more and more people are beginning to have their own cars and bikes are no longer as popular as before.
Gases emitted from car exhaust pipes create serious air pollution within cities. Bearing this in mind, a number of ecologically spirited people are now choosing to ride bikes instead of driving. Ines Brunn is a special one of these people.
Some people race their bikes, some people cruise on their bikes. Other people simply use their bikes to get from A to B. Ines Brunn doesn’t. When she gets on her bike, she is a gymnast, contortionist, and acrobat all rolled into one. Today you can appreciate the awesome, breathtaking bike tricks done by this amazing cyclist cum athlete.
Kathy Yin has her first attempt at riding a monocycle. Will she manage it? She realizes that riding bicycle is both cool and environmentally friendly. What about you? Have you been on the static bikes at the gym this week? Why not ride your bike to the gym instead? And enjoy the warm sunshine and fresh air? Perhaps if you are adventurous you can also try a monocycle, or perhaps travel somewhere with your partner on a tandem bike.
