T.A. Rides with the Mayors of Sydney & Copenhagen

On the closing day of New York City's historic C40 Climate Summit, Lord Mayor Clover Moore of Sydney, Australia and Copenhagen's Mayor of the Technical & Environmental Administration Klaus Bondam took a lunch break to ride bikes with Transportation Alternatives in a symbolic loop around Central Park. As usual StreetFilms brings you the best coverage.

Would it kill the good people at T.A. to wear suits for a change? That looked like critical mass surrounding foreign dignitaries. I know T.A. is way more savvy than that...

Wow, there is my mayor riding in Central Park!

Cheers, nice coverage.

Gilbert,

P.S. To anon - why do they have to wear suits?

Go Clover, a little wobbly but you seem to be enjoying it. We need to see our leaders setting the example if cycling is to become seen as a normal form of transport, particularly in car mad Sydney.

#2 - What? Did you actually watch the video and see what people were wearing? People seemed to be dressed pretty "fine" to me.

Clover Moore is the joke of Sydney. Under her rule all we get are more buses and we are drowning in congestion. This seems like a holiday at the taxpayers expense. She goes everywhere in a limousine and her driver double parks. The only real person on Sydney Council is Councilor Shayne Mallard - he cycles everywhere. I bet she traveled Business Class also. She's in trouble in the elections next year - people are over the way she spends all the money.

Funny how Sydney is the city which has the lowest number of bike riders per capita in Australia. They have a long way to go to make it a bike friendly city.

P.S. I hope the Copenhagen mayor had some valuable words of advice for the Sydney one. Bring on the bikes!

At least Clover's "limousine" is a hybrid car!

Do business class passengers burn more jet fuel than those in tourist class ?

Hey Dexter... I think you missed the point here. This ride was a celebration of another way to get around a city.. bikes. Its not ALL about Clover. She is only part of the equation.
Buses are not the responsibility of Sydney Council. Thats State Govt.
I do agree with you on one point though... there is a lot of congestion. Thats the reason we have to start on bike lanes now. And give the CBD back to people ... cars have had run of the streets for too long.
