2016 Advent Calendar --- day 1



Riding to work yesterday, I heard a story on PRI's The World that more people commute into Copenhagen, Denmark on bicycles than by car.  This shift was facilitated by an infrastructure plan that hopes to get more than half of all downtown trips in Copenhagen to be by bicycle by 2025 (man, the alliteration in that last phrase...Stan Lee would have been proud).  With the threat of climate change, this is certainly a ray of hope, a major city showing the way forward to something better.  You can read or listen to the story in the link below:
