Before & after bike ghettos (China or Amsterdam)
Following a link :-
http://www.bikeblognyc.com/protest-a...ave-bike-lane/ And the wonderful quote "This is NY, not China or Amsterdam" !!! =v= Marty Markowicz, the buffoonish Borough President of Brooklyn, said something similar about Brooklyn not being Amsterdam. Actually, Brooklyn is essentially New Utrecht whereas Manhattan is New Amsterdam, but quite aside from that quibble ... =v= I wrote to Marty and told him that he obviously doesn't know his Brooklyn history. Brooklyn is home to the world's first greenway. When the greenway became wildly popular with bicyclists, a dedicated lane and then later a separate dedicated cycle path was added. So, bottom line, Amsterdam (and Utrecht, and China, and the rest of the world) is copying Brooklyn. _Jym_ |
