Redesigning Cities For Bikes, Not Cars: 2015 In Bicycles

Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

If cities want more people to bike instead of drive, the solution isn't complicated: Redesign streets that were originally designed for cars to make them safe and easy to ride a bike on, and the cyclists will come. . . .

Rush hour in the Danish capital looks more like a bike race than a parking lot, and when the city builds new roads, it calculates how much it can save society by prioritizing bikes over cars.

Around half the people in Copenhagen now bike to work. But like Amsterdam, it was once filled with traffic. There's no special Danish or Dutch propensity to bike. It's just that the cities have deliberately built networks of bike lanes.
