...and not the last! It should never be our final goal to create bicycle streets here and there. We need to see them as stepping stones to our wider ambitions. Let's celebrate that more and more cities are developing bicycle streets (where the role of the car is back to what it should be: a guest that has to adapt to others).
Below, find some ideas for new road signs that can help us in thinking more ambitious. For almost no costs (compare with infra) a very strong message can be send to those that enter our cities, neighborhoods, regions and/or countries. They are based on the Dutch sign for Fietsstraten that was elected as the best out of a series. Feel free to use and improve them!
Münchenierung blogs about the emerging bicycle culture in the biggest village of Germany. Opposed to other cities, München is primarily focussing on the power of marketing in starting the feedback cycle of cyclists and infra. The re-emerging focus on cycling as urban transport could be a role model for other German cities. This blog follows and guides this transition process and is ideologically linked to blogs like Copenhagenize, Amsterdamize, Hembrow.

super
AntwortenLöschenI like the cultural aspect of these ideas.
AntwortenLöschenThanks Mark! Can you use these ideas as well?
AntwortenLöschenGreat signs. I try to do most of my city transport by bike, but I got a folding bike in order to take transport, or when I really have to drive as well, I can put the bike in my trunk easily. When I do drive, I always try to be very courteous to cyclists - as courteous as I would like drivers to be to me, at least. - Chris
AntwortenLöschenThat is brilliant Chris! I hope you are an example for others as well!
