The bicycle is the most civilized conveyance known to man. Other forms of transport grow daily more nightmarish. Only the bicycle remains pure in heart.

This is a little off-topic. I uploaded a tv-program ‘Cyckelkultur i Danmark’ (Bike Culture in Denmark) onto Gigasize. Download at

There’s a little bit about many things, from exotic and vintage bike designs to the everyday use of bikes for transportation.
The reporter speaks Swedish, interviewees Danish and French. There are no subtitles (maybe someone can make English subtitles?). The film was shown on FST5 (the Swedish-language department of the Finnish public broadcasting company YLE).
London’s is on 21st September see http://www.london.gov.uk/freewheel/
Last year was great and this year it has been extended. It is a truly astonishing sight to see such major city thoroughfares traffic free.
