Cykelslangen - Die legendäre Brücke

Cykelslangen - Die legendäre Brücke. Ein Symbol der Fahrradinfrastruktur, die Berlin wohl nie erreichen wird... #Radfahren #Kopenhagen #Verkehrswende #Berlin #Cykelslangen

Eigentlich ist es ja nur eine Brücke, aber für unsereins, der nach besserer Fahrradinfrastruktur strebt, sowas wie ein legendäres Ziel…

Here’s how Copenhagen puts cyclists at the top of the social hierarchy

Denmark has been creating magnificent architectural features, aimed specifically at bike users like The Cycle Snake, or Cykelslangen, that literally suspends the cyclist above the city, metaphorically elevating the cyclist and creating a sense of ceremony.

In doing so, they are subtly persuading people of all backgrounds to see past their prejudices or fears and take it up as the clearly better choice. This means there are more women cycling, more older people cycling, and more ethnic minorities cycling. The activity is less dominated by comfortably middle class white males: there are cyclists from every side of the community.

Another way that Copenhagen has done this is by taking privileges normally afforded only to the motorcar, and given them to the bike. The city has ensured that cycle routes do not include blind corners or dark tunnels, and that they form a complete, coherent network, and a steadily flowing system – one that allows cyclists to maintain a reasonable pace, and minimises the amount of times you have to put your foot down.

The ‘Green Wave’, for example, is a co-ordinated traffic light system on some of the main thoroughfares of the capital that helps minimise the amount of cycle congestion during peak times. It maintains a steady flow of cycle traffic, so that there is no need to stop at any point.

Small measures of prioritisation like this one increase the sense of safety and consideration that cyclists experience, making it natural for the citizens of a city to act in their own self-interest and get on their bike.
