Boulder - Bike Friendly City Built Foot By Foot, not Mile by Mile

I wonder how long it will be before Sydney can produce a video like this one, from Boulder, USA. This Colorado town has miles of wonderful bike riding opportunities. Gary Lacy, former Boulder City Planner highlights the philosophy - "Build it foot by foot, not mile by mile". There's hope yet. Somehow I don't believe the ubiquitous Sydney one-finger salute - shared endearingly between cyclists and drivers - is used as widely in the progressive town of  Boulder. There are some great strategies here. Well worth watching in full!

A Change is-a-Coming/New York New York

A change is a coming New York New York.

OK so the woman on the wheelchair? Cycle Chic? A bit of a stretch but watching this video and knowing something's going on in New York New York is good news for Sydney and points to the real yearning for 2 wheeler options and a cycle friendly city. Have you experienced New York traffic????? They are brave girls and boys even IF half the locals have left town for the customary August hiatus.

"Someday".....as Bernstein's West Side Story Classic suggests.

Thanks Bill Cunningham. Love watching your regular videos. And..., helmets...a must! Just gotta find some tres chic ones...
