How to become a great bicycling city - video from nine cities around the world
Submitted by Brent Hugh on Sat, 03/17/2012 - 8:15am
The world's greatest cycling cities didn't get that way by accident, but because their citizens asked for it and elected leaders and city officials worked for it.
How some of the world's great cities have become (or in same cases, failed to become) great places to bicycle:
- How the Dutch got their cycle paths (Youtube).
- How Paris decided to become a bicycle friendly city.
- How Copenhagen became a cycling city (PDF).
- How San Francisco became a cycling city.
- How London tried (and failed) to become a cycling city.
- How Sevilla, Spain is becoming a world-class bicycling city (more: Seville's lesson and Seville's remarkable transformation).
- How Ciclovia came to Bogotá (Streetfilms).
- How Portland plans to become the first world-class bike city in America; how expanding Portland's inexpensive bicycle network led to an exponentially expanding amount of bicycling (Streetfilms).
- How Janette Sadik-Khan is transforming New York City streets (Streetfilms).
