Copenhagen Does Bike Lanes Right

RECEIVED Thu., Oct. 22, 2009

Dear Editor,
    Thank you for printing the photograph of a Copenhagen bike lane [“Cool Cities: Dispatches From Copenhagen,” News, Oct. 16]. It's much more informative than the accompanying article.
    Imagine how transportation in Austin would change if we had wide, comfortable bike lanes, free of parked cars and garbage cans. Austin's bicycle lanes are narrow, full of debris, and often in the door zone of parked cars.
    How about some pictures of sidewalks and crosswalks in Copenhagen?
Yours truly,
Amy Babich
