Dialogue: 0,0:00:02.00,0:00:04.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Top 10 Bicycle-Friendly Design Elements in Copenhagen
Dialogue: 0,0:00:04.00,0:00:07.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chapter 01: The big picture
Dialogue: 0,0:00:24.00,0:00:25.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,your speed 20 km/h
Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.00,0:00:54.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We decided at Copehagenize design Co. to make a series of films that explore all the different elements that make Copenhagen a truly bicycle-friendly city.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:55.00,0:01:03.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Its a lot of different details involved, a lot of desing stucture details dealing with each other. but it is important to start with the big picture.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:09.00,0:01:16.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Most cities in the world are incredibly car-centric, and have hunderds of years...
Dialogue: 0,0:01:16.00,0:01:20.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,...of failed traffic engineering and planning of cities based on car-centric mentality.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.00,0:01:23.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Planners and engineers think - cars first
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.00,0:01:26.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and everybody else is left in the dust.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:26.00,0:01:34.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So a modern city, here, in this new millenium is a city that prioritizes differently, that focuses on
Dialogue: 0,0:01:34.00,0:01:38.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how to make the city a more livable place, safer place, healthier place
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.00,0:01:43.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and in doing that it needs to prioritize bicycles, pedestrians and public transport
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.00,0:01:48.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and of course, we focus on bicycle culture at Copenhagenize design Co. so
Dialogue: 0,0:01:48.00,0:01:54.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,highlihting these details of what makes Copenhagen so bicycle-friendly
Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.00,0:02:06.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In thing what defines the big picture in bicycle planning in Copenhagen is
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.00,0:02:10.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the uniformity of the bicycle network.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.00,0:02:21.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In Copenhagen and in Danish cities, there are four types of bicycle infrastructure:
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.00,0:02:24.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Number one is: where you don't have an infrastructure,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.00,0:02:27.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you have a 30 km/h is on or slower
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.00,0:02:29.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and so bicycles meet with cars. Share-space concept.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.00,0:02:35.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We do have some bi-directional infrastructure, this is largely on bicycle paths
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.00,0:02:39.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,separated form other traffic. We don't need to have many of them in Copenhagen.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:39.00,0:02:46.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Or, in between two towns up in the country, there is a bidirectional path up to the side.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.00,0:02:52.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Number three is painted lanes. We still have them in some places in Copenhagen
Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.00,0:02:59.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they are of course wide enough to accomodate two cyclists riding together.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.00,0:03:05.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And of course, numeber four, which is the fully separated and protected cycle tracks,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.00,0:03:11.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you see these all over the city. There is about 1000 km of protected cycle tracks.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.00,0:03:16.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In the City of Copenhagen and all the surrounding municipalities that make up the great Copenhagen.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:16.00,0:03:22.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We know, that this is the safest, whe know, that this is what makes people to want to ride a bike,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:22.00,0:03:26.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,makes the feel safe and it keeps them safe as well.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.00,0:03:31.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When we only have four types of infrastructure,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.00,0:03:36.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,makes it incredibly uniform, makes it incredubly easy, way-finding, it's very logical
Dialogue: 0,0:03:36.00,0:03:40.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can take your bike on the train and go to any other Danish city
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.00,0:03:42.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,get off the train and find bicycle infrastructure that you recognize
Dialogue: 0,0:03:42.00,0:03:45.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you know that it will take it you probably somewhere.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.00,0:03:55.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This uniformity in the best design of the bicycle infrastructure is really one of teh key elements
Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.00,0:03:58.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to make Copenhagen a bicycle friendly city.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.00,0:04:06.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The one of the things i like the best about cycling in Copenhagen is, said, for example,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:06.00,0:04:10.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a no point where I have to push the button like a lot of pedestrians do in other cities
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.00,0:04:13.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as a cyclist, to wait for a permission to cross the street,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:13.00,0:04:19.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think this is an indication, that bicycles are taken seriously as transport.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:25.00,0:04:29.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I am riding in Copenhagen, riding bicycle to kindergarten, to school,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:29.00,0:04:35.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to the supermarket, to work and what not, its a pleasant experience.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:35.00,0:04:38.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Even in the middle of the snow storm and a 40 deg heat in the summer,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:38.00,0:04:44.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the bicycle is the fastest way to get around the city and other cities, if you make the bicycle,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:44.00,0:04:49.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we really work hard on what makes the bicycle the fastest mode of transport from A to B.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:49.00,0:04:53.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thats why people in Copenhagen ride.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:53.00,0:04:57.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Prioritize the bicycleand they will ride. If you build it, they will come.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:04.00,0:05:11.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think that, maybe, what has taken 30-35 years here, slow, making mistakes, fixing the mechain
Dialogue: 0,0:05:11.00,0:05:16.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a establishing, at the end of the day, we are really a best practice in bicycle planning.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:16.00,0:05:21.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is possible for other cities todo in 5-10 years.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:21.00,0:05:25.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with the right political will
Dialogue: 0,0:05:25.00,0:05:28.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and engineers and planners, who know how to plan for bicyles
Dialogue: 0,0:05:28.00,0:05:31.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and are willing to think bicycle first.
