Why do I ride bicycles while all others are driving? | Jacob Klink | TEDxHejiangting
Motor industry made a huge fortune while offering convenience to people and aimed to shorten the distance from point A to B. But Jacob raised the question again, does driving really help us to get from point A to B any faster? Living in city center, Jacob had his bike shop in Chengdu, and inspires people to ride and share with us how riding bikes help us to be more healthy, more community-friendly, and do more good to our environment.
Jacob Klink moved several times throughout the course of his childhood.
From the historical regions surrounding Philadelphia to the country's heartland, his family eventually settled in the high desert city of Albuquerque, New Mexico.
It was here he attended the University of New Mexico and earned a bachelor's in history. While in school he discovered two areas which would transform his labors and passions moving forward in life.
The first was bicycling.
Outside of class, Jacob's free time was spent exploring his world by bicycle and organizing events to engage with the community and promote cycling.
The second was an interest in China.
With the flexibility learned from his childhood of moving from place to place, it was an easy choice upon graduation to move to China to learn firsthand it's history, its language and its culture.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
