With thirteen national parks, New Zealand offers several options for outdoor activities, from skiing, to hiking to fishing and boating, according to Kiwimate on the Geocities.com page. Such accomodations would allow potential Bicycle City, New Zealand residents and visitors plenty of outdoor activities to pursue, including wildlife watching at Kahurangi National Park.

New legislation and goals to make the country more eco-friendly are constantly being pursued, according to the Department of Conservation in New Zealand, meeting the goals of a possible Bicycle City, NZ. From helping to prevent threatened species or controlling human threats to the environment like oil spills and fire to restoring ecosystems throughout the country, the goal of a more natural environment is evident according to the Department of Conservation.

Keeping with these cleaner-living goals, there are many public transit options available, including a metro system, allowing for less vehicles to be used to get around, notes the chapter of the American Public Transportation Association in New Zealand.

Introduction

The mountainous regions of Japan along with its tropical oceanic climate could be an ideal home for a potential site of Bicycle City, Japan. For picturesque views and landscapes, each of the four islands of Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu is almost 75 percent mountain region, with roughly two-thirds of the four islands’ land mass forested, according to Altapedia. There are two rainy seasons each year, leaving the balance of the year nearly rainless, Altapedia notes.

In keeping with the goals of any potential Bicycle City, Japan site, Japan’s government intends to increase biomass in fuels as part a national effort to decrease fossil fuel use and prevent further global warming, according to Green Options.

The country’s twenty-eight national parks listed by Japan’s National Tourist Organization boast hiking trails, biking, boating, and hot springs giving several options of outdoor, clean entertainment options to future residents and visitors to Bicycle City, Japan.

 

Development of a Japanese Bicycle City would likely tap into inherent benefits from Japan’s designation as the world's largest donor of foreign assistance for nature conservancy, according to The Nature Conservancy. Japan is additionally setting precedent for natural conservation with technology, policies and funding to promote conservation on a global level, The Nature Conservancy notes. The country is currently increasing resources for environmental projects that should have significant effects on the environment in Japan, as well as positively affecting the countries along its borders.

Introduction

Indonesia is the largest archipelago nation in the world and is comprised of five
main islands, Java (most populous), Sumatra, Sulawesi, Kalimantan and Irian Jaya
as well as 17,000 other small islands (6,000 inhabited), according to Infoplease. Each island has its own coastal and mountain regions, many which
could serve as ideal potential Bicycle City, Indonesia, development locations.

A newly-found interest in conservation is in alignment with the goals of possible
Indonesia Bicycle City development. Rich in native plants and wildlife, a number of
conservation organizations have recognized the importance of preserving the
indigenous character of the islands, according to Conservation International.
The Nature Conservancy has joined with nine Indonesian and international
organizations to establish the Conservation Training and Resource Center in Bogor.

Attention to alternative fuel use is also a tie-in with potential Indonesia Bicycle
City development. The country is investigating the use of biofuel crops such as palm
oil, cassava, sugar cane and jatropha curcas to reduce its dependence on fossil
fuels and to help boost local economies, according to Orangutan Foundation
International.

Indonesia has an equatorial climate with two seasons: a dry season runs
from June to September and a wet season from November to March, according to
Atlapedia.
