Pollution is killing up to 9 million people every single year across the planet. As grimly expected, most of these deaths – 92 percent – are in middle-to-low income countries.

We drove my old rickety Ford Escort from Helsinki to Troms with my adventure buddy Mika-Pekka Markkanen. Then visited Senja and Lofoten islands and drove back.

Swedish design engineer Mikael Kjellman wanted a bicycle that was weather-protected and more comfortable than the traditional bike. That’s why he designed his prototype of the PodRide, a “fun and practical bicycle-car.” When you see this thing in action, I guarantee you’ll be more than impressed.
