Bike Futures: Lessons from Copenhagen

• mainstream cycling - everyday cycling for everybody
• physically separated paths are the best way to get more people cycling and to overcome the sense of unsafety many people feel about sharing the road with fast moving cars
• work on both hard and soft (culture,behaviour) infrastructure
• build the network - resolve weak links
• use data, counts of people - not cars - to analyse how road space is being used
• use pilots/trials eg 'Saturday Streets' - give people the experience (showed New Yor example where they had just used planter boxes and tables and chairs)
• use visualisations rather than plans so people can see the imagined future
• build on the values of your city
• reduce car speed, bike speeds can go up
• favour on road treatments, to off road - as part of enlivening cities
• make small interventions where you can. Be responsive and fix easily fixable problems
