Here’s a cool idea to get the number of cars on the roads down and get a nation fit, healthy and reduce carbon emissions!

Inhabitat reports that “A city in Sweden is testing a new program they hope will slash the number of cars on the road. The government is giving away free bikes for six months to three dozen test cyclists. All they have to do in return is promise to use the two-wheelers instead of cars at least three times a week. The test cyclists include students, commuters, parents and children”
