07/05/2011: "Cycling Mobility June Issue"
I recently received my copy of the new bike planning quarterly Cycling Mobility. I'll admit that my first interest was to see how my own article looked, especially as the photos as well as text were mine...but that done, I perused the rest of the magazine, and once again, i was impressed--almost pleasantly shocked!--at how good both the printing and the editing are.It is one of the most visually handsome magazines I see, and the collection of articles--leaving aside my prejudice towards my own contribution--is stunning.
A partial sampling:
- Okay, my own article on LA's bike plan, Won't Get Fooled Again
- Editor Ross Ringham on Pedal Powered Portland
- Carlton Reid on Taiwan
- Steve Durrant on the new NACTO guidelines
- Tim Dawson on residential bike storage
- Gail jennings on South Africa
- Jay Walljasper on the commons
- Articles on Sydney vs, Melbourne, Edinburgh vs. Glasgow, private funding of bike infrastructure, changes in Omaha, and lots more
But if you can afford it for yourself--or write it off as a journalist, planner, advocate, or whatever--you will find it well worth the money.
Sample article synopses (by the way, their blogs are free to view) at CyclingMobility.com, or subscribe to their excellent Twitter feed at @cyclingmobility
If you work in or out of government to promote practical cycling, this is a valuable resource.
And satisfying to read through too!
Note: There is an online facsimile of the print version here, but it doesn't include quite everything, and the paper version is much more satisfying.
