Current TV - Urban Mobility: Creating a Bike Friendly City
Current TV - Urban Mobility: Creating a Bike Friendly City from Trunk Films on Vimeo.
Our first commission from Current TV USA took us to a very cold Copenhagen in February 2010.
As part of the 'Urban Mobility' series sponsored by Scion, we asked the author of the blogs 'Copenhagenize' and 'Copenhagen Cycle Chic', Mikael Colville-Anderson to show us around all of the innovative ways in which Copenhagen is encouraging it's people to use the bicycle as its main form of transport.
Here at Trunk, we like bicycles... with cities like Copenhagen leading the revolution, the future is two-wheeled and we're diggin' it.
