London Cycling Campaign

British Cycling / Home Projekter | Dansk Byplanlaboratorium I de fleste danske kommuner vil man kunne se frem til færre indbyggere. Det kræver tilpasning og omdannelse. Udgangspunktet for dette projekt er, at nogle landsbyer må ’skrumpe’, for at andre kan overleve. Mange landsbyer har i dag et faldende indbyggertal og slås med tomme huse og forfald. Flere steder i landet bliver enkelthusstandene reelt stavnsbundet fordi det er umuligt at sælge boligerne. Der er i dag en vis bevidsthed om denne problemstilling og der er også udviklet puljer til at støtte kommunerne i deres indsats for at rive tomme huse ned. Men der behov for mere end enkeltstående nedrivninger. Fire scenarier Nedenfor kan du se fire stærkt karikerede scenarier for modellandsbyen Skrumpelevs udvikling over en 20-årig periode fra 2014-34. Scenarie 1 ’Lade stå til’ i 2034 I dette scenarie bliver Skrumpelev ladt i fred. Scenarie 3 ’Udtynding’ i 2034 I dette scenarie er der foregået en kraftig udtynding i ejendommene langs vejen.

Urban Design and Street and Roadway Improvement The National Association of City Transportation Officials’ Urban Street Design Guide marks a big step forward in advancing a people-oriented approach to transport policies. Photo by University City District. Urban streets are getting a makeover. In many cities worldwide, bike share stations have usurped parking for private vehicles. In the new Urban Street Design Guide, the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) cements these changes, codifying the emerging paradigm of streets as public spaces for people, rather than solely as arteries for traffic. Urban Street Design Guide features emerging, innovative street facilities The Urban Street Design Guide emphasizes street facilities ranging from boulevards to neighborhood streets, and transit corridors to green alleys. Drivers aren’t left out either, as the guide details how to make intersections work better for everyone, including motorists, through the addition of turn lanes and signal timing evaluation. “Act Now!”

Quality Cycle Clothing Delivered Direct: Prendas Ciclismo Transit and Sharing The 20 largest bicycle sharing systems in the world. Three are in Europe (Paris, London, Barcelona), two are in North America (New York and Toronto), the other 15 are in China. Data: Earth Policy Institute, 2013! Over the last 100 years, urban transportation may have experienced two revolutions in the way it is powered, structured and managed. Now comes the third revolution. In the last ten years, thanks to a significant outbreak in information technologies (IT), cities have experienced a genuine shift in the way their transit systems are structured and the way urbanites commute in their neighbourhoods. A Vélib’ engineer regulating the stock of bicycles available. In 2000, there were about 4,000 shared bicycles in the world, and they were all in Europe. What is the big idea? Bicycle sharing systems allow a city to add another layer of ‘public’ transportation to its matrix. A self-service docking station in London. Why is it more than a gadget?

bikeability.dk 12 reasons to start using a bicycle for transportation We're continuing our look at smart ways to start saddling up and using bicycles for real transportation.

Hvad gør en cykelsti super? | Bicycle Innovation Lab Bicycle Innovation Lab deltog i mandags i "Cykelsuperstiernes innovationsworkshop". Cykelsuperstierne er et tiltag der skal skabe bedre forhold for pendlercyklister og give flere lyst til at vælge cyklen frem for bilen – også på de lange strækninger. En cykelsutpersti er indrettet med så få forhindringer som muligt og forbinder knudepunkter som boligområder, uddannelsesinstitutioner og områder med mange arbejdspladser. Formålet for innovationsworkshoppen var at få ideer på bordet til, hvordan cykelsuperstierne kan gøres endnu mere attraktive for cykelpendlere. Hos Bicycle Innovation Lab har vi også fokus på pendling - helt specifikt på pendlercykler. De mest populære pendlercykler - Book dem her 1.
