Cycling like we have not seen it here in New Zealand ( since the 70's)
35% of all traffic in Copenhagen,Denmark is bicycles.
Many are female and many are elderly.

Less than 2% and falling here.
And they thought they could never make it happen!

Cycling has been made practical, practicable and preferable to EVERYONE in many European countries by the availability of urban-appropriate bicycles and associated technologies and by the provision by Local Governments ( through pressure from the sheer numbers of cyclists) of an environment that people feel safe to cycle in.

My web-pages aim to provide a resource to anyone wishing to take up
'utility' cycling in New Zealand by raising the awareness of what is
happening in the rest of the world and by providing links to(both NZ and overseas) suppliers of what are otherwise very hard to find urban appropriate cycling technologies.
