Megacity bicycle infrastructure NY case

Bicycle Infrastructure diversity plays an important role in megacities


Mapping Your NYC Bike Commute from Streetfilms on Vimeo.


Bicycle infrastructure in megacities is much more about adapting than rebuilding the "dreamed" city, many of the Mexicos delates on bicycle infrastructure come from the "NGOs and local governments dilema" between following the European model or solving along with the implying of a more holistic approach.

New Yorks city appears as a story of success not only on terms of bicycling numbers, it is a story of succes in terms of optimizing public resources while creating social involvement. Like Jannet Sadik fro NY traffic department says:

"There is a lot you can do with a paint can, a brush and a lot of imagination"

In the voice of a citizen it sounds as Activism, in a politicians voice is political will.
