Cycling Promotion - Copenhagen's "Hi Cyclist!" Campaign

[John the Monkey]

Saw this on Copenhagenize today.

The "Hi Cyclist" campaign is a way to promote cycling in a positive way -

The poster above, which was plastered all over town, reads:

"Hi cyclist! Copenhagen was voted Cycle City 2008 by Danish Cyclists Federation. You are one of the main reasons. CONGRATULATIONS! and thanks for cycling in Copenhagen."

...

There are so many opportunities to make our citizens proud about cycling as well as sending out common sense safety messages without the wagging finger of a nanny state. Like the head of the Norwegian Cyclists' Federation once said, "Why don't we ever see headlines like '50 cyclists saved their lives this week BECAUSE they rode their bike to work'..."
