I liked it! I hope the DC bike share program is as successful as the French one. Although, I have to wander how many stations there are. My bro was just there for a Ron Paul rally, so I guess I could ask him if he noticed any…
That was a great introduction–now if someone would do a series (or at least an hour-long special) on what has worked in various cities/communities to encourage bicycling. . .
I second Bob’s motion. An hour-long-special would be a GREAT service to our whole Nation.
Better yet, a Series - perhaps to air once per month for the foreseeable future.
Great clip. Spotted one bentrider about 1/3rd of the way in when he says a “sea of cyclist” and it shows several rider heading across a bridge, the bent seat back is on the lower left.
Bob C for President eh!!!
[...] A recent article in the Forbes Traveler online magazine rates “America’s Most Bike-Friendly Cities”. Some of the winners were obvious choices, though others make me question the criteria they used to come up with their list. In any case, it’s good to see cycling once again getting some national press (seems to be a trend). [...]
Now they need to allow for trikes as well (for those of us who either can’t or choose not to ride 2 wheels). Although the one rack they showed would work, and most trails will as well.
