[sustran] Green Idea Factory blog: The Conditional Surrender

[Todd Edelman]

Excerpt:

"... these days, when at its best cycling modal share is about 50% (as 
it is Groningen in the north of NL) and innermost parts of Amsterdam, 
Copenhagen etc.) is the glass half-full or half-empty? This beverage 
also contains collective public transport (nearly and chronically 
ignored in some cycle-cheerleading), but what if the non-PT and walking 
split is half private automobiles and half bicycles? Should we be 
half-happy or half-sad? It depends on who is writing or showing the 
history, yes? Indeed, could the private automobile lobby show a video on 
their You Tube channel, boasting how they have managed to hold on to a 
huge modal share despite the traffic jams, parking costs, "green" and 
health issues?"
