What You Can Do
Marianne Weinreich, Chairman / Marie Kastrup, Vice Chair, Cycling Embassy of Denmark
1. “Consider your trip. Ask yourself whether you could walk, bicycle, or take the bus. You don’t have to bike everyday; just days when the sun shines.”
Commuting by bicycle requires pre-planning.
2. “Start your children cycling. All cities have parks and playgrounds where youngsters can practice.”
That said, one terrific childrens’ bicycle park is in Copenhagen.
3. “Demand protected bike lanes, bike education programs, and bike-share programs if your community does not have them.”
Protected bike lanes benefit everyone, not only bicycle riders.
Here’s a complete bike education curriculum for 4th and 5th graders.
