In June, the city of Vancouver hosted the Velo-City Global 2012 Conference, where international cycling planners, professionals and advocates convened.
Streetfilms partnered with the city to produce this video
about Vancouver's investment in bicycling. Easy and convenient
transportation is key to their status as one of the world's most livable
and sustainable cities. In 2010 they introduced their downtown
separated bike lanes. And since, cycling has become the fastest growing
mode of transportation in Vancouver.
The city's investment in bike infrastructure is paying off
and city leaders continue to set their goals high. The city's Cycling
Vision includes developing new bicycle and greenway networks, building
ample bicycle parking, making access to transit easier, prioritizing
cycling education and promotion, and creating a friendlier pedestrian
environment with more livable neighborhoods.
The end result is a city where cycling is safe, convenient, comfortable, and fun for people of all ages and abilities.
