: 19 January 2012 Vintage Enlightenment and Despair What a lovely shot . Copenhagen . 1907. Vestre Boulevard . Dug up by our very own Lars Barfred The sign on the right reads Bicycle Lane Sweet . At first glance it's a nice vintage photograph coloured for effect of a street in Copenhagen . And then , as a Copenhagener , you realise . hey . I KNOW that street . That's City Hall on the left and Tivoli Gardens on the right . Vestre Boulevard is now named Hans Christian Andersen Boulevard . My goodness Look at how lovely that street is So liveable . Like a wide street in the heart of a city should be . Look at all that space Then you get depressed because you remember what it's like . now Thanks to Jason for the link to What Was There and this image The 1907 photo was taken from right about
: 18 January 2012 New Campaign Ignoring the Danish Bull This campaign from the car-centric Danish Road Safety Council is a prime example of how they are maintaining the status quo and Ignoring the Bull in society's china shop According to their warped ideology , cars rule the streets and anyone who dares to challenge this indisputable fact will be eliminated . They use cars portrayed as anonymous machines no focus on the invisible driver and no focus on the responsibility of these drivers to take care in the traffic to hammer home their point that they are incapable of taming motorised traffic and , I fear , completely unwilling to do . so The video , above , is a part of the Tag Chancen Take the Chance campaign , which we had a sneak preview about last year and also here Take Chances ,

: 14 January 2012 A new story of our lives Thats what we . need The new government is admirably determined to build a congestion-ring , around Copenhagen City . For the first time in since the oil-crisis in the early seventies , and the car-free Sundays , Danish motorists are under fire . Was the state of our tasteless self-indulgence and waste of natural resources not so catastrophic , it would be quite amusing to observe how closely aligned the excuses of smokers and motorists are . Except second hand car-driving kills twice as many as second hand . smoking Photo : Steven Depolo Fact is that only a small insignificant number of people drive , because they did a thorough analysis . Some are genuinely forced to , as we for sixty years build our infrastructure to favour cars over all other

: 07 January 2012 Women's Bike Design Girl on fixedgear track bike . Photo : Joel Lingat I ran today , its one of my goals for 2012 to run much more . Ultimately I would like running to be as natural a choice of mode of transportation as cycling is today . Also I am on a bike , a spinning bike or real bike about twenty hours a week , some variation in my exercise regime is probably . advisable And running is very much like cycling , you use your calves and hamstrings more when running , and the thigh somewhat less , you head is in a constant position , you only want to use power to move yourself forward , not up and down , not from side to side , just forward and away , it really has much of the same beauty of motion . I believe running and cycling to be very complementary to exercising
: 07 January 2012 Copenhagen City of Bikes Before I begin , if you don´t live in Denmark or the Netherlands , you may feel that if only your city was as welcoming to bikes . On the other hand , if you live en many Southern European cities , where the municipality has had enough reason to conclude , that cars ruin the old city center , and have virtually banned cars inside the old city walls , you may not be so envious . Copenhagen advertises it self as a bike-city , whatever that is , if you are a tourist and understood Danish , you would rightly be confused to notice that on most buildings in the city , small signs advertise the opposite Cykler fjernes uden ansvar” Bikes are removed , no responsibility accepted” . I bet you , more money went into these small signs , than into bike racks
: 04 January 2012 Overcomplicating Winter Cycling Why It's Bad One of the main focuses of this blog has always been on how Copenhagen and other cities have succeeded in increasing cycling levels by approaching the subject using mainstream marketing techniques . Tried and tested marketing that has existed since homo sapiens first started selling or trading stuff to each other . Modern bicycle advocacy , by and large , is flawed . It is firmly inspired by environmentalism which , in turn , is the greatest marketing flop in the history of humankind . Four decades of sub-cultural finger-wagging , guilt trips and preaching have given few results among the general . population When sub-cultural groups start trying to indoctrinate and convert the public , it rarely ever succeeds . For the better
: 04 January 2012 The Future Isn't Here The future didn't end up like this . If you thought the future according to Forum for the Future , Embarq and The FIA Foundation in the previous post was spooky and unsettling , it may be good to know that when Big Business attempts to predict the future , they are usually quite . wrong Above is a whopper of a film 21 minutes long that shows General Motors' futurevision from 1940. This was produced for GM's Highways and Horizons' pavillion at the World's Fair and it looks ahead to the Wonder World of 1960 What a wild guess they took . Wishful thinking on their part , of course . The speaker bangs on and on and on about safety at high speeds and never having to slow down on whopping , billion lane highways like : this Give the film a chance , despite
