I was alive out of boondocks aftermost anniversary and didn’t get a adventitious to address annihilation on the blog. The above-mentioned anniversary was appealing animated too, so advertisement has been abnormally ablaze at Bike Architecture of late. I assumption it is aloof this time of year. I accept been absolutely active at home and at work, so it is adamantine to acquisition a little added time to address about bikes. That doesn’t beggarly I don’t accept a lot of bike architecture accompanying advice to canyon forth though. I absolutely acknowledge all the tips that I accept accustomed from readers the aftermost brace weeks. It may booty a while to get to all of those letters though, so amuse buck with me if I am a little apathetic to respond.
One affair that abounding of you aggregate with me aftermost anniversary was the advertisement of winners in the Copenhagen Bike-Share Architecture Competition, which took abode during the COP15 altitude summit. Two readers who alerted me to the advertisement happened to be the aboriginal abode winners (yes, there were 2 aboriginal abode prizes awarded). You may bethink Erik Nohlin as a finalist in the driver bike architecture antagonism that I staged aftermost year. He now works for LOTS Architecture and was allotment of the aggregation that created the OPENbike. Apprehend added about their acceptable architecture below:
“LOTS Architecture (Gothenburg), Koucky & Partners (Gothenburg) and Green Idea Factory (Berlin) teamed up to architecture an avant-garde bike administration arrangement for the City of Copenhagen. The team’s entry, alleged OPENbike, was bygone awarded a aboriginal amount at the city’s all-embracing architecture antagonism with 127 entries.
The City of Copenhagen, one of the apple arch cycling cities, aims at establishing a new bike allotment arrangement and has accordingly accomplished an accessible all-embracing architecture competition.
The acceptable entry, alleged OPENbike, puts the user in the centre and proposes a arrangement that is accessible to use, adjustable and absolutely scalable. The architecture ambition has been to actualize a arrangement that seamlessly integrates with accessible carriage and becomes a accustomed allotment of Copenhagen’s absolute bike culture. The arrangement proposes a acute agenda arrangement and accession solutions chip in anniversary bike to actualize a absolutely amphibian bike allotment system. OPENbike does accordingly not charge appropriate stands and bicycles can calmly be repositioned and acclimatized to the cities alteration needs.”
The added 1st abode award-winning went to Thomas Coulbeaut for his Myloop design, which uses a advancing base that secures the bike and recharges it back it’s not in use. The advancing band-aid takes up actual little amplitude and has virtualy absolute accommodation due to the actuality that the bicycles can be bound to one another. The architecture allows for a lot of adaptability in the way the stations are configured… a affection that the antagonism jurors seemed to like.
On the CPH Bike Allotment Antagonism website, you can download pdfs with added advice about the winners or any of the 127 entries. I animate you to bang about and apprehend about some of the altered ideas. Also, be abiding to booty a attending at this Copenhagenize post, which appearance a 20-minute video of the awards ceremony.
Another acceptable antecedent for advice about bike administration programs in accepted is The Bike-sharing Blog. Russell was one of the readers who beatific me a tip about the CPH winners aftermost week, and his blog is one that I will abide to watch.
Finally, on the accountable of bike sharing, I will acknowledgment that Greenville, SC (where I live) is in the cardinal 1 atom on the B-cycle “Who wants it more?” map. Appealing air-conditioned for a little boondocks with a citizenry of about 60,000 people! I am absolutely a big adherent of a bike administration affairs here, and attending advanced to that acceptable a absoluteness soon.
Since I mentioned Greenville, I additionally appetite to allotment some pictures of the Bikeville accumulation ambience up for, and benumbed in, the Downtown Greenville Christmas Parade. We had a “Share the Road” affair for our bicycle-powered float this year. Despite a few accessory challenges befitting one of our bike benumbed mannequins upright, I anticipate it went appealing well. In accession to the photos, you can analysis out a few videos that I attempt that night. The one that I filmed while benumbed is a little shaky, but still account watching. Analysis out the appointment bike activity from one ancillary to the other…definitely a army favorite.
