Bicycling: A Sustainable Choice

Niels Tørsløv, City of Copenhagen

More than 36 percent of all Copenhagen commuters arrive on bikes, and cycling has become a significant part of urban life there. Now the city has even more ambitious goals -- service improvements aim to increase bicycling commute trips to 50 percent by 2015. Copenhagen's use of cycling to improve public health and reduce the city's carbon footprint inspires cities around the world. Please join us for a brown bag lunch with city of Copenhagen Traffic Director Niels Tørsløv, who is visiting a number of North American cities to share his knowledge and experience.
