Cycling Friendly Cities - Copenhagen, Amsterdam, and Houten


Cycling Friendly Cities - Copenhagen, Amsterdam, and Houten

Copenhagen, Amsterdam, and Houten are three cities that have opted to create and support infrastructure that integrates the bicycle into an everyday mode of transportation for its citizens.  The bicycle has become a part of everyday life, especially after the innovative changes to the streets in these countries over the past couple decades.  Whether it’s going to work, school, shopping or a night out on the town, people in Denmark and Holland have the means to use their bicycles for all their daily tasks throughout the entire year.  The video shows great examples of bicycle friendly infrastructure, bicycle safety education, and the importance of sharing public space between pedestrians, cars and cyclists in these three cities.
