People on bikes in London
This video (below – it runs 8:47) tells quite a story about what happens when you get ambitious about encouraging people riding bikes. And when real money follows the big plan, and it’s all about making possible a radical change in transportation choices.
This 40 mile network of AAA infrastructure in London has the helped the daily count of people riding bikes rise to around 730,000. As in Vancouver, along with the quantity increase, there’s also a demographic change — more women, children and seniors.
They’re starting to badge these streets, and traffic-calmed neighbourhood streets, as “healthy streets”.
Many thanks to Streetfilms.
