So we’ve included some laudable bicycling accommodations from other parts of the globe as well (even a couple from the U.S.), listed in no particular order.”
The creation of bike paths and cycle cities supports a green efficient live-workplaces that are designed for health-safety and landscaped for responsive energy, resources, and technology systems. The identification of the most “10 Brilliant Pieces of Bike Infrastructure” are the benchmarks of sustainable cities and support smart grid thinking.
