Editor's Notes
- When I see an adult on a bicycle, I do not despair for the future of the human race. - H.G. Wells
- An advanced city is not a place where the poor move about in cars, rather it’s where even the rich use public transportation - Enrique Penalosa, former mayor of Bogota
- “Kathmandu is growing fast. In the absence of any coordinated plan for its development, the city is sprawling in a haphazard way creating problems in transportation, water supply, drainage and so forth.”
- “A city is more civilised not when it has more highways but when a child on a tricycle is able to move about everywhere with ease and safety” - Enrique Penalosa, Former Mayor of Bogota
- It’s the people who design the city. The pedestrians were trained to used the zebra crossing rather the cars should have told to drive accordingly
- The bicycle has done more for the emancipation of women than anything else in the world. It gives women a feeling of freedom and self-reliance. I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel...the picture of free, untrammelled womanhood.” - Susan B. Anthony American civil rights leader and feminist. 1896
- A cycle lane is a symbol that shows that a citizen on a $30 bicycle is equally important as a citizen in a $30,000 car – Enrique Penalosa, Former Mayor of Bogota
- Russian president and prime minister
- Are we designing a livable cities or a developed cities full. Cities are designed for people than cars.
