    A heck of a lot more positive and pro-active than anything we get up here. am sure there are some of the same issues that we face with implementation and meeting goals, but this strikes me as having a totally pro-cyclist tone to it, not the sort of grudging acknowledgement that we usually get, that suggests that while they'll support cycling, cars are still what people really want...

    "The problem is that he has only taken the colour and not the design. In Copenhagen, bike lanes are often three to four metres wide. Here, the only guarantee is that they will be 1.5 metres in width, which isn't nearly enough."

    1.5m minimum? We can but dream...!
