Copenhagenize.com - Building Better Bicycle Cultures: Cyclists Are Better Shoppers Than Motorists

Copenhagenize.com - Building Better Bicycle Cultures: Cyclists Are Better Shoppers Than Motorists:

"It has come to our attention that in some cities, there is resistance from the community - namely commerce - towards such things as bike lanes and bike infrastructure in general. We see it from time to time in Copenhagen, too.

"Back in the 1960's, a radical idea was born. Pedestrianising the city centre. There was very vocal resistance from the shops. There were even cries of 'we're not Italians! We don't want to walk around the town!' The car was king."
