And on the seventh day, they rested (Denmark Day 7)

Sunday was a rest day for me. I figured out how to work the hostel's laundry machines. I took a stroll and had delicious coffee with a Danish apple tart. It tasted something like a very cinnamon bread pudding with baked apple slices (and optional sour cream). Yum! I enjoyed relaxing and watching people go by.
Then, I strolled further still, picked up a hotdog from a hotdog stand, and spent a good hour watching people at Nyhavn (that's the colorful rowhouses on a small harbor that's on so many postcards).
After the people's watching, I headed back to the hostel for my check in with the instructors. The structure of this course works really well for the purposes of leaning about bikeable urbanism and experiencing the possibilities firsthand. All of the built aspects of the bike infrastructure could be done anywhere--including and especially US cities and towns. It's straightforward. It could be done without a bunch of complications. It's relatively cheap transportation infrastructure. It's relatively cheap to own and maintain a bike (and a cargo bike for a household). It's efficient for getting people around town. Living it for a week drove home how important it is for the US to take advantage of bikes as a serious transportation mode for nearly everyone.

After my check in, I went to the park, wrote some notes, and generally relaxed the rest of the day.

Up next: Touring the city with Copenhagenize

Random pic of the day: Local bird watched me the entire time I ate the hotdog.

Transit, a piece of the pedal puzzle (Day 21 Netherlands)

Image
It's a bit startling how easily people can get around here in the Netherlands. Short distances or long distances, we can move about without a ton of planning.  We met up with Bradley Tollison, a former participant of this learning abroad program, at the Driebergen-Zeist train station to learn more about how cycling complements transit more than it competes. When a region makes an ongoing effort to make a less-car life a real possibility, it pays attention to human behavior. In the Netherlands, the city planners noticed that a large portion of bike trips went to or from trains.  (Photo from Cuijk Station near Nijmegen) Turns out, people living in Denmark can participate in a program where they use the same card as the train trips for a bike share bike. So, they can bike to the train (possibly on their own bike), park it, take the train, then borrow an OV fiets (bike) to complete the journey on the other end. I'd noticed these bikes at the stations near Nijmegen (lik...

Out n About (Day 26 Netherlands)

Image
I woke up with a plan, a very good plan, to take every form of non-automobile transport easily available in Amsterdam. Bike to Rijkmuseum Bike to the bookstore district  Take the ferry from behind Central Station  Bike around Noord Amsterdam  Ride Metro back with my bike before rush hour  Drop my bike at the hostel Take a bus out Take a tram back What I actually did: Slept in too late for the art museum Biked to the bookstores Ferried to Noord Amsterdam  Biked up through Noord to a Metro station ...and realized I missed the last train before rush hour that would allow bikes on board. So, I biked around Noord Amsterdam neighborhoods for the rest of the day, ended up at a light industrial waterfront area that had been redeveloped into design offices, restaurants, and what I think of as "the usual" attempts to spruce up an old port or industrial area to attract high income people to work and visit in an ar...

A Fietserbond (Bike Union) bike tour of Amsterdam (Day 24 Netherlands)

Image
The day kicked off with a bike tour led by Marjolein de Lange of Fietserbond, the cyclists' union. (Yes, the bicyclists union is real there, not just a cheeky Twitty account.) I took away three main concepts. 1) "A bike policy is not something you do once."  Efforts to increase the safety, ease, and appeal of cycling in Amsterdam tracked back to a 1978 network map vision. Though much of that original proposal now exists, policy shifts started in earnest after building larger political will in the 1980's. Infrastructure policy continued and continues to shift with time as the understanding of possibilities grow, findings of analysing pre- and post-intervention inform future planning, and travel behaviors adjusted to the shifting infrastructure. For example, the fear of being hit while biking and ending up maimed or killed by a car driver led to the intervention of separate bike tracks. The popularity of the network of bike tracks (along with parallel interv...
