Take a tour of the new cycle parking below Berlin's Potsdamer Platz.

Designed for utility, sport, electric and cargo bikes, it enables a smooth transition to public transport, while taking a disused and uncomfortable private retail corridor and reimagining it as a safe and inviting community space.

"Cycling is a good way to travel anywhere ... you are independent and mobile, and yet travel at "people speed" - fast enough to move on to another town in the cooler morning hours, but slow enough to meet people.." Neil Peart, The Masked Rider

Map showing the route that Thomas Stevens took to ride around the world on a penny farthing bicycle. Stevens started in San Francisco, California and headed east. He originally planned to travel from Tehran through Siberia, but was denied entry. After changing routes, he was ejected from Afghanistan and had to turn back and take a steamer to India, and then another steamer from Calcutta to Hong Kong.

In 1886, Englishman Thomas Stevens became the first person to cycle around the world. He did it on a penny farthing, with a raincoat that doubled as a tent & bedroll. His handlebar bag held fresh socks, an extra shirt, and a pocket revolver.

Our loved ones died biking in Cambridge last year. Boston-area candidates need to follow the facts on bike lanes. - The Boston Globe Some candidates are displaying a staggering lack of regard for people who cycle, victims of traffic violence, and everyone who cares about safer roads.

Biking on the road is legal. That hasn’t stopped police from ticketing riders Detroit bicyclists report being wrongfully stopped while biking and obeying laws.

One of the officers told Young that he needed to ride in the bike lane, which, at that time, Young noted, was unplowed and unsafe.

Since the East Coast Greenway Alliance’s founding in 1991, our advocacy efforts have led to continued expansion of the East Coast Greenway, mile by mile, through cities, towns and rural communities along the East Coast, making us one of the most visited parks in America:
