> “It’s A to B-ism,” said Mikael Colville-Andersen, a raffish bicycle evangelist who preaches the gospel of Copenhagen to other cities. “It’s the fastest way from point to point.” i live in a smaller city of 300k people, i own a car but ride my bike as much possible. i've been to the hospital several times recently for prenatal classes (my girlfriend took the bus). once i was late, really pushed it and it took me 8 minutes (on my bike, that is). last time we were due for an examination and took the car - the same distance took us 28 minutes, 3.5 times as long.
