How would you like to constantly patrol a 50,000 acres large estate on bicycles all year long? That is not a job that many would be applying for and surely not many would last a few months of such work. But when the Queen tells you to man up and do the job, then you might be pretty well up to the task. Queen Elizabeth apparently has told her Royal Guards to do away with the fuel-guzzling SUVs that are used for patrolling her estate and switch to bicycles whenever possible.

Now one must remember that the Queen has been kind enough to use the word ‘whenever possible’ as otherwise both the weather conditions in the UK and the length and breadth of her backyard do not really permit the job always. The Queen is reportedly very keen on going green though and just a few months back she had a giant windmill installed for power needs. When renewable energy and eco-friendly causes get a push of such ‘Royal’ proportions then it surely is good news.

Now if only someone could tell the Queen that there are Range Extended Electric Vehicles, which would suit the job better than simple bicycles and are still a very good green alternative. Maybe we should write to the Queen, or maybe she is reading this right now… Well, we did say ‘Maybe’!
