the thing that i thought was so interesting about the cycling experience in denmark was that it is so regularly -- so many people regularly bike that it is not even seen as a thing. it is a utility. like you putting on your shoes. everybody has got a bike and a pair of shoes. and so many people do it, and i want to reiterate her last point about the protected infrastructure, and i'm really looking forward to having more conversations about that. but the 35% to our 3.5%, so correct me if i'm wrong, the math there is like 10 to 1 for every one bicyclist, multiply it times 10 on our streets, and that's what it would be like to have a street similar to denmark. i think the way they really do that is these protected cycle tracks and infrastructure, and i'm really hoping we can move these kinds of things forward and really make people feel safe to ride a bike. there are times when it is simply not practical for me to ride a bike, like when i'm dressed like this. right now i don't have one of those great dutch bikes yet, but i mean to get one. and i'm crammed into an enjuta during rush-hour,

also, in denmark. ithey have all the facilities ad priorities for bicycles. it turns out that these towns have a lot higher bicycle use than elsewhere. it pays to have good bicycle facilities. >> yes, i have another question. this is more on the cost and maintenance. one thing that plagues american cities is the maintenance budget for maintaining public streets and public right of ways. we know very well that you have very high taxes and you have very high parking fees. could you talk about who and how you maintain your infrastructure and the streets? is that just a given, you decide to build something and somebody maintains it, or is there an agreement with another department to maintain it? >> the authorities in amsterdam, the infrastructure and transport department and municipalities, they financed it, they planned it, they build it, construct it, and they maintain it. i think that is the logical route. and is paid by the community's -- and is paid by the communit ies, and also from the state department. [inaudible] >> in the netherlands, if a road is real

look, we've seen studies of exactly what you're saying in places like denmark. in other words, denmark cut the jobless benefits by two years and they saw the incentive for people to get to work. then when you start dropping the dollar amount of unemployment benefits, by the way, we're talking 270 a week or whatever. that is embarrassingly small already. you can't live on that already. when you start dropping it, yeah, there may be incentive to get that job, but i got to tell you something, we spend so much money on all sorts of different stupid government programs. i'm all for helping the poor. >> to mike's points, we're not giving them money to stir the economy. we're giving them money because they're hungry. i have to say to lizzie that was the greatest speech i've ever hear you make and i absolutely mean that sincerely. >> thank you. >> morgan, is there not a danger, however w giving money to people who become dependent on that gift? >> of course, there could be that danger down the road. but again, the reason we have this high poverty rate is because we have

this is just shortly a slide that shows you what already has been polled, that denmark and the netherlands, they are in fact far ahead of all of the other european countries and belgium is somewhere in-between making an effort but for sure also at this trip, i have been able to learn a lot from my european colleagues in denmark and in the netherlands. brussels is in the heart of europe and i think it's also has been a very good thing that there is european regulations, although at this moment, european regulations are mainly on achieving certain environmental standards. let's say pollution by co2 and particles. but that has helped us as we had too high air pollution in brussels as it was sanctioned by the european union that we really could stress on alternative mobility. we don't wait until european legislation or regulation coming up. we also have no brussels, no belgium, but european towns, towns in europe, trying to find one another and to press, to put pressure on mayors and regional ministers to commit themselves to invest in bicycle policies. so those towns can learn from one anothe

again, countries like denmark, beautiful countries if you've ever seen him. but i mean, man, that's not good. >> no, it's terrible. businesses today face regulations at the federal level with whatever comes out of congress and all the government agencies and the executive branch. and then every state, 50 states worth of legislative branches, executive branches. every county, every local. we have it coming at us from so many different angles that we can keep up. neil: the one thing that i have learned, but if you watch a lot of -- but they have been telling me is that this is ex potentially gone up over the last four or five years. to the point now where ignorance is not a defense. if you violate regulations, you're going to have to pay dearly for it. >> that is -- that's not good. what is happening is you have millions of people out there every day is trying to do the right thing, take care of your customers,, take your shareholders from and you have all this regulation, new laws being deployed everyday. it's very costly to keep up. right now i think that the

because in denmark, i'm sure there is a respect for pedestrians. i would like to compliment council member cheryl because i've seen her walk the bicycle on the sidewalk. i'm sure she obeys the laws. what i would like to see diminished is when buys bicyclists go through the red light, and they make aan obscene gesture and told where to go. i've seen where bicyclists are dragged from their bikes and beaten up by irate pedestrians. and we want to put a stop to that. >> thank you. this is followed by robin brasso. >> good afternoon, board, my name is dennis valins. i'm a bicyclist here in san francisco who happens to make my living driving a cab. it gives me a unique perspective because i'm able to see two sides of the issue. one, when i'm on my way to work, or when i'm going to see a show, or the other side, when i'm at work. there are three areas i would like to talk about and some ideas that i have to improve safety. the first is market and octavia, which was mentioned earlier. it is an accident waiting to happen the way it is set up now. an idea i'

one thing i enjoyed seeing in denmark, where they had these things they also had cross walks in the cycle tracks. for people coming off the buses and alert the bicyclists and the pedestrians have the right-of-way, and need to yield for them. i thought that was brilliant. and for you folks to consider that as you implement this or consider them in the drawings. or decide against them. but think about in the cycle track where the unjida unloads folks. it can get chaotic when the door opens and the bicyclists getting through and pedestrians crossing. may not be that big of a deal, the speed may not cause a crash but to be mindful to prevent that would be worth our while. but this is fantastic. can't wait to see it happen. >> real quick. thanks for the great outreach. >> i am glad to see the design solution, and i look to continue the outreach and look beyond for the access. i know in the disability community there is concern from the bulb out across the bike track. and i second the opinions about the cross walk there to alert cyclists to crossing pedestrians. >> lee. >> i thought it was a ve

denmark is another very open society with very little crime.t only received threats, but he also received a very serious attempt to kill him, which is a somali man linked to the al qaeda affiliate. he traveled to denmark to his house and got inside his house and tried to stab him to death. luckily, this guy had a safe room in his house into which he disappeared and -- >> let me ask you -- >> pardon me? >> i just want to ask you -- i have been looking at the front page of "the morning post" today, and the headline is "it's just a stupid movie." the picture shows all the violence behind them. with each of these incidents that we cover that there is some perceived affront to the prophet muhammed or the religion islam, does it get worse, or at some point are these going to become somewhat use big quit us, and perhaps the violence will assuage, or is it the opposite? >> i mean, some of the cases, the people who are releasing the films or cartoons, you know, in some cases are to either make a statement about free speech, which is fair enough, but in

everybody in denmark said if i had to do it over again, i would start with bike parking. bikes litter the sidewalks there. thethey're a tremendous impact to the pedestrian realm, and they have not created a way to have bike storage in an orderly fashion. we want to have a combination of sidewalk racks and corrals, but we would like to do so much more than that. a little show and tell with marketing and enforcement. i do want to mention that we do have an effort under way to create citation diversion program. so basically when you get a ticket for disobeying the traffic laws as a bicyclist, instead paying a fine, you would pay a phenomenal fee to go to traffic school. and we would use the classes we currently deliver city-wide. i think it is off the starting block. the other thing we would like to do is try and test that idea that rewarding positive behavior can be very -- just as effective as sort of shaming bad behavior. so we have a couple of programs. one of them is our "light up the night" program. we gave away about 1,000 bike lights, and i won't turn this into a rav
