I’m very surprised at how poor the cycling infrastructure is in England… but since I’m from Denmark that’s not surprising.

This is how a bike city should be:
Separate bike lanes
Traffic signs for cyclist
Blue lanes in intersections

Want to see a city with these improvements? Visit Copenhagen or just Denmark…

Here’s a little video from Copenhagen :

I thought it was a superb film, and a superb idea and ethos. Germany, or at least Bremen, are doing a great job and we can learn a lot from them. Good luck to Darlington and I hope it gets adopted in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire.

Personally, high heels wouldn’t be my choice but if it gets more people cycling then great!

Alway look ‘Bella in Selle’ But I can’t actually picture myself in high heels on the bike either, unless they have carbon soles. LOL

I saw this video before. Interesting documentary.

Thanks for stopping by my blog.
