Very inspirational to hear. <BR/><BR/>Best of luck to you.<BR/><BR/>There are a number of posts over at our Copenhagen Bike Culture blog with stats and studies that may help in convincing people. Here's a couple:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://cycleliciousness.blogspot.com/2007/11/cyclists-are-better-shoppers-than.html" REL="nofollow">Cyclists are better shoppers than motorists</A><BR/><A HREF="http://cycleliciousness.blogspot.com/2007/12/traffic-kills-10-times-more-people-than.html" REL="nofollow">Traffic kills ten times more people than traffic accidents</A>Colville-Andersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16749740728099129703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2210935752673952814.post-50008898063020322002008-03-05T14:46:00.000+01:002008-03-05T14:46:00.000+01:00I forward this site to many friends, and they love...I forward this site to many friends, and they love it. But they all say things like "Oh I wish I lived somewhere with a bike culture like that" or "oh i long to live in the Netherlands or Denmark." <BR/><BR/>My response: stop driving your car everywhere you go. We will never have a "bike culture" in the US if everyone spends their time longing for Europe and continuing to drive around their American cities. Instead of complaining, we all need to dust off those old bikes and ride to work.<BR/><BR/>Since finding this site, I have made it my goal to turn my small town into a European-style bike city. It has what it takes. Everywhere worth going is in biking or walking distance. It's a great city with great restaurants, arts, and entertainmnet. But no one rides (except for the black-swathed anarchist/critical mass types)--they all drive and complain about parking. In fact, I have found that I can get around and do errands (and even commute) much quicker than I can in a car.<BR/><BR/>My goal is to ride my bike to work--in my stylish work clothes (heels and all)--when weather permits (we have real winter here) and hope that others catch the bug. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the continuing inspiration to get me out the door on those days when driving sounds so much easier!Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06042106696152559126noreply@blogger.com
