Mikael Colville-Andersen (taken from Twitter).jpgVideo: Copenhagenize founder fronts TV series on sustainable cities
Influential urban designer Mikael Colville-Andersen – the man who coined the phrase "Copenhagenize" in reference to the cycling conditions in his home city – is to present a new TV series in which he will visit various cities around the world to talk to people who are working to improve city life.
Produced by DBCom of Montreal, The Life-Sized City will "seek out the pockets of life-sized goodness in cities around the world."
It will be filmed this year and broadcast in 2017. Colville-Andersen told BikeBiz: "The series is fully financed but who will broadcast is still to be confirmed." He mentions the Discovery Channel and National Geographic as being the kinds of broadcaster he expects to take an interest.
The trailer sees Colville-Andersen pedalling round Montreal, pondering how ‘a very people-friendly city’ can improve its transportation further.
Colville-Andersen last year described London as the "Village Idiot of Urban Innovation". He is unimpressed that schemes to take cyclists off London's streets keep being proposed and says many such proposals are overcomplicated and fail to provide for the way people actually use city streets.
Alex has written for more cricket publications than the rest of the road.cc team combined. Despite the apparent evidence of this picture, he doesn't especially like cake.

I have one, it is lovely to ride - easily my favourite bike (although pretty useless on anything techy due to quite a steep head angle)

Acts like this should be regarded as domestic terrorism, because that's what it is.

As much as lots of cyclists is good for health etc, I hate getting stuck in a swarm of cyclists slowed by the one or two that don't keep to the left and the current size of the segregated cycle lanes in London often make it difficult to pass. Does only tend to happen at rush hour though.
Thank you! At last, someone else who thinks it makes more sense to treat cycle lanes like roads - ie. we drive on the left, therefore..,
