Kaksi kuvaa Kööpenhaminasta samasta paikassa. Vuonna 1930 paikalla on vehreä puisto. Vuonna 2019 tilalla on monikaistainen autoviemäri.

Vaikka Kööpenhamina toimiikin monessa esimerkkinä, sieltäkin löytyy paikkoja, jossa kelloja olisi syytä kääntää aika paljon taaksepäin 🤯

@linus That's city marketing and bullshit statistics.

"in fact, almost as many people commute by bicycle in greater Copenhagen as do those cycle to work in the entire United States"

Wut?

There are many factors that favor cycling: flat terrain and short distances combined with more and more car traffic getting in its own way. This is a motive for pushing those pesky cyclists to the side of the road, as this image shows.

There is also a relatively high level of cycling in Dutch coastal cities, especially over short distances. Copenhagen even lies on a promontory and is narrowed by several ring roads.

TL; DR They confuse cause and effect for marketing purposes.
