@copenhenken Welcome to İstanbul Henk! Ferries are simply the best travel mode in İstanbul but even better when combined with bicycles! I hope you have a good time there.

Boat & bike over to Asia. #cyclingtourism

Last week, we hosted a group of engaged students from @Portland_State at @MetroenKBH and I presented my PhD work. Their questions and interest (especially in the @SaraNAhmed quote I had) made my day!

@johnmacpdx @Portland_State @TRECpdx @moviatrafik @MetroenKBH @trimet @MEltved It was a pleasure! I already wore the TriMet t-shirt to Roskilde Festival, the biggest music festival here, which also has an orange theme :) Hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay in Denmark.

@Portland_State @TRECpdx sustainable transport study abroad, learning about Copenhagen’s world-class transit system @moviatrafik @MetroenKBH & sharing @trimet swag. Thanks!! @MEltved @gg_basaran

This is the only security staff I would like to see on public transport <3

Just received this book thanks to @thelabofthought ! I will cycle somewhere nice and start reading right away @fietsprofessor @tverka

@_kaat0 hahah would like to get a month pass for this bus! do you know what show/movie it is from?

ah yes, my favourite mode of transport, the cat 🐈‍⬛

Dear #AcademicTwitter how do you backup your work? After 1 year as a PhD student I feel like it's time I find a good backup solution... 👉👈 #PhDvoice #AcademicChatter #phdlife

It's hard to believe that top universities in the EU can't be bothered to update their course catalogues. Like yes please tell me more about that one course you held in 2009 it looks super interesting!

@nicole_steller @PhDVoice @PhDForum Having a weekly and daily to-do list, drinking coffee before I arrive at the office to be awake, having lunch as late as possible to not fall asleep in the middle of the day!

What is your individual perfect work routine to stay productive during the day? #procrastination #Productivity @PhDVoice @PhDForum

@thelabofthought Done, thanks a lot! I’m looking forward to it :)

@gg_basaran Hi Gülin, Thanks for helping us grow the movement! Please send us the name and physical address you’d like us to ship this to at - rethink@thelabofthought.co

Happy to spread the word (and hopefully win a copy!) 🥰📚🚲

@vbluhme @AmericanFietser Wow! I knew that cycling was big also back then, but for some reason did not expect dedicated infrastructure. Thanks a lot!

@gg_basaran @AmericanFietser According to my rigorous research (i.e. looking up old photos online) parts of Vesterbrogade, Østerbrogade and Søgaderne got bike lanes between 1890 and 1900. They were bidirectional, on one side of the road. More pics:

@vbluhme @AmericanFietser Great photos! I didn't know there were separated bike lanes soooo long ago.

@AmericanFietser That's mainly an aesthetic preference – raised grey bike lanes have served us well for many years, and distinguishing bike lanes from car lanes is intuitive for all road users. Driving in the bike lane would be as strange as driving on the pavement. Here's Copenhagen in the 1910s

Attractive public transport 🚌🚋🚊

and the cutest cyclist award goes to ❤️💕💝💖💗💕❣️💓

@stinelinnemann @OzcanApoet which is not easy when 1) no one is paying for it 2) no one has the dedication to invest in proper PT infrastructure. I suggest that we find ways to make it less necessary for people to travel instead but I don't know how to do so yet! Will hopefully find out soon :)

@stinelinnemann @OzcanApoet That's correct, but still the low percentage shows that this measure only works for people who already have access to public transport, while the rest is forced to keep driving unless they get new lines (cont'd)

Man vil få folk i Kbh til at køre 30-40 km/t, fordi man tror det vil gøre, at flere tager det offentlige. Kunne man i stedet ikke, gøre det offentlige mere attraktivt, hvis målet er, at flere skal bruge det? Måske gøre det mere stabilt eller måske sætte priserne ned.
