It is remarkable how three and a half buck gas concentrates the mind and increases interest in alternative fuels and transportation systems. In Chicago today, you can see a Twike, , learn about biodiesel, view an extracycle and a range of other interesting alternative fueled vehicles. "Foresight's Eco-Transportation show is intended to display to the public the many choices available, ranging from "old fashioned" (i.e. bikes) to forward-looking (i.e. electric vehicles) to innovative (i.e. Segways). Our goals are to learn from those who use and own them, raise awareness, have fun, and encourage attendees to make informed decisions." If you want to drown your sorrows about buying that Hummer, you can follow up with a beer at Greendrinks. ::Chicago Eco-Transportation Show
