It’s a little bit like Dave Stoller’s “Breaking Away” dad waking up from a nightmare screaming “Refund!? Refund!?” except in this case it’s “Recall!? Recall!?” Seven bicycle brands — representing 68,000 children’s and adult bicycles — were recalled on Thursday by Meijer Stores located in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky. Other recalls include PRO … Continue reading »

: 28 August 2012 A Typical Solution in the New Copenhagen This is a little detour from my series on congestion , but it's a typical example about how your city chooses and prioritizes more cars or bikes , as well as how even a highly-praised bicycle city still chooses more cars . Lars . Barfred Denmark's most car-congested , mixed-use road is the six lane wide Hans Christian Andersen Boulevard It caters to 56,000 motor vehicles a day , which is also close to its peak capacity . It also also has 21,000 daily bicycle user . It cuts through two densly populated residential neighbourhoods , Frederiksberg and Nørrebro , and slices through the coveted area around The Lakes , past another residential area , onwards past the City Hall Square and Tivoli Gardens and then passes over the harbour .

There will be festivities up and down the street in . celebration Here's a post that shows the origins of the idea can be found in 1913. Originally published on 11 August 2009. I dipped into the archives the other day and found an interesting article from 1913 about traffic on the main thoroughfare in Copenhagen Strøget In the early 1960's Strøget , the main street running east-west through the city centre , became quite famous . It was closed off to cars and transformed into a pedestrian zone . There were protests back then . Cries of we're not Italians We don't want to walk were heard in the city . Shopkeepers feared for their businesses . Fortunately , the idea was

A strange malady strikes my hands on bicycle rides during the latter days of August. I call it purple finger syndrome. The digits of my right hand suffer the worst, turning a deep bluish purple by the time I return home from a ride. It clears up after a shower, only to beset me again … Continue reading »
Christian Vande Velde made up a 9-second deficit to win the USA Pro Cycling Challenge on the final stage individual time trial in Denver on Sunday.
By winning, he unseated Levi Leipheimer who usually excels at the ITT in crunch situations.
Vande Velde said, "I actually had a lot of confidence in today. ...
With the USA Pro Cycling Challenge coming to an end today, defending champion Levi Leipheimer has gone to the front as the overall leader.
The race has been a dead-heat between Tejay van Garderen (BMC) and Christian Vande Velde (Garmin-Sharp) for most of the week, with Leipheimer lurking down in fourth place just a few seconds behind.
The week-long stage bike race ends with a 9.5-mile individual time trial around Denver. All three are strong riders against the clock, although historically Leipheimer has the advantage.....

The City has a permanent exhibition space along the river and the photos of Copenhagen's cycling life were blown up to an impressive . size The vice-Mayor of the city spoke at the opening , as did
Here’s a can of worms opened up by US Anti-Doping Agency’s announcement that it will rescind all seven of Lance Armstrong’s Tour de France titles. Who gets them? I’d recommend nobody. There’s no way to go back that long ago and legitimately award the titles to some of those cyclists. Simply draw a heavy black … Continue reading »

: 24 August 2012 Sao Paulo Bicycle Schools Part 2 I returned last month from another visit to Sao Paulo , to continue work on the fantastic Escolas de Bicicleta project that Copenhagenize Consulting developed with the City's Education Dept . On my previous visit the project was in the preparation stage . The curriculum for the bicycle classes was being designed and the bamboo bicycles that we were to contruct for the students were still on the drawing . board This time , however , it was very different . The children were ready to . roll I had the pleasure of being present in the classroom at a few schools when the first bicycle class started their . course Right off the bat I have to say that the whole week was inspirational . It's one thing pitching an idea and then building up a project
Lance Armstrong dropped his fight on Thursday night against the doping charges lodged in June by the US Anti-Doping Agency.
He did so without admitting to the allegations that he used banned substances and improper methods to gain an edge in the sport of cycling to win an unprecedented seven Tours de France.
Although his attorney wrote a letter to USADA that it cannot "retroactively punish" Armstrong, the loss of his seven Tour de France championships is a very real possibility. ....
A couple of days before the start of the USA Pro Cycling Challenge, 40-year-old Jens Voigt was asked about retirement. “That is not in my vocabulary. Sorry.” The RadioShack cyclist demonstrated what he meant by that statement on Thursday when he took a solo victory on the 97-mile Stage 4 by nearly 3 minutes. The … Continue reading »

: 23 August 2012 The State of Copenhagen Congestion I previously and enthusiastically wrote about the Copenhagen congestion ring which most people , at the time , thought was a done deal . The plan was later scrapped but I am going to cover what really happened , before and since , and what will be the result of the government's Congestion Commission , which has been charged with developing alternate . solutions I am going to cover all this in a series of articles on Copenhagen and congestion , which I hope will be relevant to many other bicycling active transport advocacy . agents About 15 years back , a majority in the Copenhagen City Council agreed that car traffic had surpassed any reasonable level and decided that car traffic must be forced to remain at 1996 levels at the . most When
: 21 August 2012 Copenhagen Cyclist Harrassment It's no longer the city you may think it is , it seems . The Danish Justice Minister , Morten Bødskov is the latest antagonist to restrict the growth of Copenhagen's bicycle . culture He has proposed that Danish municipalities be allowed to remove bicycles parked incorrectly . It is currently only the police who are authorised to do . so That there are many bicycles parked outside bike racks is certainly a fact and an interesting issue . Look at the cartoon at the top . It's from a legendary Danish satirist , Storm P . who was always keen to highlight the cycling situation , as he was a bicycle user himself . We've translated his pisstake on the anti-cyclist mood in the 1930's previously The cartoon reads , Since they're considering to use
