Happy Friday!

Kids in the Netherlands practice traffic safety from a very young age in these “traffic gardens” and learn from both a car and bicycle perspective!

“Forever Bicycles” by Ai Weiwei

“Forever Bicycles” by Ai Weiwei is made of 1,000 bicycles installed in a 10-meter high space. Pretty darn impressive!

Covered Bike Racks

Found in Denmark, about 10km outside of Copenhagen, these racks are super innovative! Not only are they simple, but they allow you to pull down a plastic cover over your seat to keep it dry. We’ve never seen anything like it!

Check out this and more awesome stories over at Copenhagenize.

Happy Friday!

There’s still time to buy your tickets for the Bicycle Dreams movie showing on February 9th, supporting the Coalition… and to nominate the Coalition for a $1000 gift!
