ACTIVITIES

1. In small groups:A. Compare the photos about London & Zaragoza.B. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the bicycle as an urban means of transport?C. Do you think bikes are more popular now than before in London and Zaragoza? Why?

2. Individual task: Using evidence from the photos, your own knowledge and surfing the net, write a report about bicycle transport in Zaragoza or in London.

This activity was developed after my attendance to a course for Geography Secondary Teachers in Colchester in July 2012. I received a Comenius grant for that course.

All the photos of London were taken by me doing some personal research during that course.

All the photos of Zaragoza were taken by me, before and after the course, except this one

that I took from http://winged-wolf.blogspot.com.es/2011_12_01_archive.html
