Culture shock
This is a view on the present cycling culture in Europe by a cyclist who was fortunate enough to spend years getting to know his bicycle and his city all by himself,without any contact with that culture,and thus without any preconceptions about what he was supposed to think.
 
A paradigm shiftis on the makingin our cities.
Peak oil, congestion, pollution, obesity, deterioration of public spaces…the dominant model for our cities during the XXth century is at the end of the rope.A new model is already here for the cities we want, and
Shared Space
is justone of the signs of it.
