In Ryan Taggart’s Blog article “A smart Alternative“, the issue of soaring gas prices in Europe is brought up and what are the viable alternatives. Although bicycles are a continually growing in popularity, there is still the dilemma of travelling great distances and taking multiple people along for the ride. As mentioned in the previous article in the link above “bikes may not be the best way to get around” but they are a good start to combating the increasing carbon emissions and soaring gas prices or Europe.  I believe a good alternative to this decision is trying to promote smaller and more fuel efficient cars to the Europeans. Also not only driving smaller cars but only driving when absolutely necessary. By doing so this addresses the problem of driving passengers as well as travelling longer distances.
