that is why most of the people in amsterdam go by bike.if your interested in funny and nice invidious, go to youtube. but you will see a lot of videos in which the bicycle and the car cooperate. these are some pictures and examples of how the public authorities can invest in cycling. this is a parking space for a cyclist. tend thousand bicycles can be stored there. -- 10,000 bicycles can be stored there. you can build a shelter for about 30,000 bicycles. now, what can employees do? many employees are working on the bicycle programs. this picture is a picture of a bicycle shelter at the company where my wife works. it is quite luxurious. that it is a lawyer's firm, 500 lawyers work there, and most of them, by bicycle. -- and most of them come by bicycle. many companies give their employees their bicycle with their name on that. it is a form of advertisement. many companies, the company where i work for, the chamber of commerce, they have bicycle and scooter sharing for the people to come by public transport. they can take a bicycle or a sco

in amsterdam, you have to wait two and half years before it because you -- you have to wait two and a half years for the parking permit. >> people except they can just not have a car. in amsterdam, the other modes of transport are so well-organized, it is just like in the hague, a car is more of a new sense that a create a car is more of a nuisance and liability. it is expensive. the other modes of transport are much more convenient. >> ok, mike, you have a question? use the microphone, please. >> separated bike paths in the united states are controversial, and they're slowly catching on. how important is it to have those facilities in place? is it maybe a quarter of importance, 50% of the attraction for people to take their bikes? i'm wondering how important it is. >> i think that you need a cycling infrastructure, both from a statistical point of view and the feeling that people have when they use it. otherwise, we do not think we would have more people cycling if we did not put in more cycling facilities. i think the cycling infrastructure is absolutely necessary. if you want to do

so the bike is the grease in the amsterdam economy. you have to build less highways, you have to build less parking garage. you put the bike -- use very little space. where you have to build parking garage, they're very expensive. there are recent surveys that companies pay up to 30,000 euros, that's $50,000 per year per person to have them traffic by car to work, where as a bike costs only 250 euros so there are large benefits at stake. also, there is lots of surveys that show that people who live in towns where there is more cycling, people like to live there better than in towns where there is less cycling. there are an overwhelming lot of advantages on cycling and i'm going to put some -- and then this is what oakland should do as few of them -- recommendations that are put together oakland also could be used for san francisco. one thing is, if you want to have these advantages, for instance, if you're scared about all the money that goes to building highways, well, you can only reduce the number of highways that are to be built if

i mean, like amsterdam is plat as a pancake we would say. brussels does have some, well, ups and downs. an important issue politically is that we have -- we are, in fact, giving big gross national product to the country, 20%, although we're only 10% of the population, but yet most workforce is coming from abroad, from flounders, from outs. so they are coming in at 9:00 in the morning and the workers are again leaving to the north or the south of the country in the evening and we have ourselves a population with also considerable amount of people who live in poverty. there is about 20% of unemployment. we do have for 20 years now our own regional parliament and government and i'm very proud of that because i really think that we have been able as politicians to put brussels solution on the brussels scale thanks to that legislative power we have. you see we have been quite ambitious. we voted already in 1997 a resolution in the parliament saying 10% of all mechanical transport should all be by bike. we also held a summit on road safety and, th

in my hometown of amsterdam, new york, there are neighbors who are hurting. in some instances this recession has eliminated nearly half of their retirement savings. others have lost their homes. despite this downturn and wall street's recklessness, republicans still want to privatize social security. they want to create a a keeno economy and play russian roulette with our hard-earned retirement savings. most of the seniors in amsterdam have worked hard and have played by the rules their entire lives. social security which they had paid into their entire working life is their crucial safety net and financial security. let's not gamble it away to appease republicans. wall street and big banks. just a few days ago the leader of the other side suggested slashing social security benefits and using those funds as savings to pay for the war in iraq and the war in afghanistan. enough is enough. democrats in congress are standing up for seniors and fighting to protect social security to create jobs here at home and to support small business as the engine of job growth
