Go Places Cars Can’t by Edward Tuckwell

Designer & Illustrator Edward Tuckwell has created a warm, scenic poster that would give even the most hardened petrol head pause for thought. His evocative illustration reminds us that there are some spectacular places that two wheels can take you, where four wheels cannot.

“Besides the healthier and more engaging commute to work, I truly believe that there is greater excitement and fulfilment to be had from traveling by bike,” says Edward. “It opens possibilities to carve your own path, either through a busy city, or in the countryside where discovering new and hidden places becomes a regular desire. Driving can often feel detached from the world in which you are moving through, whereas cycling provides a tactile connection to the environment that is hard to replicate. Riding will take you to places that cars can’t reach, or would never see, to the secluded gems that become private hangouts and provide memories that never fade.”

Why?

A cyclist can travel up to 10,000 kilometers on the energy equivalent of a litre of petrol, if that doesn’t take you to faraway places, what will?

How?

Here are some cycle-friendly scenic locations to get you going.
