There is no doubt that, so far, the bicycle represents the most eco-friendly means of transportation designed by man. Except for the non-pollution of the environment, the bike is also a good medium of exercise, so to say, as its driving force is human effort. Despite this, numerous people prefer using their cars, as it is more comfortable for them to just take the keys, start the ignition and not worry about whether it's cold outside, where to put their things and so on. Nevertheless, bike riding is definitely an activity that should be promoted continuously, as it's vital to reduce pollution.

The Green Shadow bike would be a great method of transportation, environmentally speaking, as well as from the perspective of design. Besides conserving the environment and making you look good, the Green Shadow also monitors your vital statistics.

 

Burning calories for the environment and saving a few bucks during the ride seems a good enough reason to quit using your fuel-guzzling car. Designer Mr. Onuff Studio has taken the biking pleasure a step further with his new Green Shadow concept bike. Thus, a computer incorporated in the bike will track the mileage, heart rate and the calories you burn during the ride.

 

Although the designer of the Green Shadow doesn't say anything about the materials used in the making of the bike, there are low chances it is in fact plastic, as that would contravene to the main purpose of this high-tech ride.

Unfortunately for green fighters, or eco warriors out there, the Green Shadow is still only a concept and there are no perspectives for it to enter production in the near future. At least, there is no information available concerning this aspect. So, until the Green Shadow hits the streets, you'll just have to ride regular bikes, if you call yourself an ecologist, that is.
