Designing the Cycling City A practical course for transportation, design, and planning professionals with a vision for human movement on two wheels. Enrol today!

Understandable. Hey, I took this free online course a while back and learned a lot about how to deal with issues like this. If you've got the time, I recommend it. It was easy until I had to actually use a program to design things, but that's not till the end.

Could be either. These sorts of bikes are common in places where people usually live in apartments (like, everywhere except USA). Even if they're not foldable, they're much easier to fit on an elevator.

The Greatest Feeling in the World Seven months with an electric bike.

β€œWhen I got home, I sat on the floor, wearing my helmet, and sobbed until I was hoarse with the overwhelm of my joy. I’d just ridden a bike for an hour! A bike! For an hour!”

One thing I've noticed, comparing European roads to American, is that the Euro roads really try to cut down on the number of business driveway entrances, especially onto main roads. Sometimes you have to take a roundabout route to drive into a parking lot. Not so in Santa Cruz, it seems!

Advertising card featuring a woman in a pink dress mounted side-saddle on a penny-farthing bicycle. Next to her is a man holding the handlebar; the woman is knocking the cap off his head probably in an effort to steady herself.

It's in the style of the way six-day track races were depicted back then.

That ring rack looks pretty cool, and apparently it was a really simple, cost-effective solution to the bicycle parking situation in Montreal

I'm zooming in on that circular thing it's locked to. Is that something they just slide onto a lamppost?
