I love living in Copenhagen and the beauty about all these bike lanes.... they work for skaters like myself aswell....Copenhagen best bike and skate city in the world

Some may say that I'm just speaking about a few bad apples, but most of the cyclists I've seen do this. And it's so frustrating because if a vehicle hits them, the driver will usually end up being blamed for it when really, it's the cyclists fault for not shoulder checking or signalling their turns etc..

Sounds like you guys suffer from militant cyclists. Yeah, those suck ... we don't have those here in Denmark, or rather, they are an extreme minority.

We teach our kids how to bicycle, and what rules they have to uphold in traffic in kindergarten and school. I guess that's the main reason people are more relaxed about the whole deal ?

[simplepeachyme]

If it works in Copenhagen, why can't it work in Vancouver? I hate it when cyclists demand the same respect and proportionate space on the road when they don't follow the rules of the road. I constantly see these cyclists blow through red lights and stop signs. They also just assume that they always have the right of way and that the car who can T-bone them, sees them and will automatically stop.

@simplepeachyme I'm a cyclist and brake the rules offenly, but I take care, not to annoy anyone or to cause danger for me or the traffic and pedestrians.. their right and safety are on first place for me. I do it, because sometimes there is no other reason to wait on the traffic light, except - "it's red" - there are no cars, no pedestrians passin', so why cars wait? - they afraid of police, 'cause they have number plates.. Well, I don't, and "it's not fair!" is not reason enough to me! :)

@simplepeachyme You should understand that not all cyclists are breaking the law because they are disrespectful citizens wanting to spite car drivers or what not. In my city (Tally, FL) there are many intersections with sensors that never turn the light green unless a car is present. Needless to say, I've had to "run the red" on such occasions. This is not the same as blowing through a red, which is stupid and a great way to get hurt or killed, but please realize it's not so black and white.

K, LOL, WTF?

The biggest problem with biking in the US is trusting the drivers of cars around you enough to not "accidentally" kill you. There are actually many cases of purposefully harassing / hitting bikers on purpose.

It's beautiful

 :')

[brigadello]

Truly inspirational for cities that are mostly car dependent

[SeidlerProductions]

Excellent production and excellent message. The USA could be there asap if the attitudinal issues were removed. Facilities are great especially as training grounds but roadway systems have the potential for full function if the motoring public were so forced to comply with liviability and sustainability. Highways could and should become Humanways first, LOS should only advance cap improve when all the cars are full. We have an attitude issue not a roadway or facilities one--we must change minds

[jeffbridgman]

Beautiful film!
