Copenhagen's attitude toward bikes
Interesting video of the bicycle commuters in Copenhagen. The sheer quantity of bikes is amazing. The video's a bit long, but you have to keep an eye out for the subtitles that point out different facts along the way. The way that bus passengers conflict with the bike lanes is interesting.
Shared spaces
I've posted these before but they're lost in the middle of the roundabout thread. Shared Spaces is an interesting counter-intuitive paradigm shift in who "owns" the roads. The idea is to bring vehicles, and bikes down to the same level as pedestrians by removing all traffic controls (signs, traffic lights etc). In this way, everyone must look out for everyone else. It encourages eye contact and interaction between pedestrians and drivers in order to negotiate right of way.
