In our recent exploration of all things bike-related on YouTube, we’ve so far brought you video of friends moving house by bike, we’ve seen a tour of Seattle’s secure BikeStation parking facility, and today we've already showed you footage of one crazy cyclist doing over 80mph by bike. Now we’ve come across this lengthy report on bike-friendly cities around the world.
To anyone who is familiar with bike-friendly planning, there’s probably not a huge amount of new information, but it would make a great educational video for schools. It is certainly good to see footage of so many ordinary folks using bikes for their day-to-day needs - if only every city planner would watch this! For more information on bike-friendly planning, check out our posts here, here and here. ::Quickrelease.tv::via YouTube::

Did you know that in Sao Paulo we also have a law that prohibits the use of cars 1 day a week. That's 20% off the roads during peek hours. 8 years later we have the same amount of cars as we use to have. Instead of using public transportation, people started to buy cheap old cars to ride in the restricted day. Solution? I don't think so. It seems that Bogota's law is much better, and so is the transit there.
