Quote of the Day

“People’s choices are shaped largely by their environment; put an escalator next to stairs, 99% of people will not take the stairs. Build things that are good for a person on a bike — whether they are eight or eighty — and you’ll get more people on bikes. Get more people on bikes, and the other issues, like behavior and safety, virtually take care of themselves.” – Tom Vanderbilt

Thank you Tom!
Myself I wish for:
– bike storage on the sidewalk, so I don’t have to carry my bike up and down the stairs
– built-in locks with numbers in front of most shops (like in some swimming pools), so I don’t have to carry a lock and find the key each time
– fun, affordable bikes for rent by the hour so I can go around with my kids or visiting friends: some with baskets, tandem, pink, blue…
But the best would be not to own any bike and have bikes available on every block in Brooklyn: dying to see Citibike up and running as a starting point
Sounds like a good list to me!
Odile, fancy meeting you in this neck of the woods! I agree. Great list!
