ReadingToronto is one of my favourite Toronto websites. Not only for the quality of writing about Toronto-centric issues, but for the variety of information it covers. Still one of my favourite blog posts ever is Escape Velocity... about the feeling of escaping gravity as one rides through a city.

Back in July, Robert Oulette of ReadingToronto visited Denmark and Sweden and has an excellent post about the bike-friendly infrastructure there:

In Sweden and Denmark civic authorities have done something exceptional: they designed cities for walking and cycling. This image is of a biking and walking path down a boulevard in Gothenberg. Cyclists have their own lanes on roads - real lanes with real stop lights of their own. Imagine.



I'm jealous.
