Getting a younger cohort invested in urban planning through cycling (!). Fully awesome & worthy of support.

NYT: French Ideal of Bicycle-Sharing Meets Reality
"80 percent of the initial 20,600 bicycles stolen or damaged": Compare to the considerable success of Barcelona's technically all-but-identical Bicing system. A perfect case study in the locally differential adoption of technologies; namechecks Bruno Marzloff.

NYT: How to Look Like a Grown-Up While Biking to Work
Called this one too. Not that it's likely to happen, but nothing could make me happier than if Dutch-style cycling (bikes, infrastructure, mores) was transplanted to NYC en bloc.

I've been seeing these for years, suspected there had to be some organizing involved, didn't know who or what or how...

NYT: "Hoop" Wins Bike-Rack Design Contest
Pretty enough, I suppose, but lower-capacity than the extant racks. And a single point of failure to their two. PROVISIONAL FAIL, sorry.

NYT: Unstoppable
Fixie love from the Grey Lady. Approving, full of clichés, not entirely unpoetic...and certain to accelerate the massification it decries.

Welcome to jorg&olif: Dutch City Bikes
