I Love Bikes… and Europe
Love, love, love… and the scheming to move to Scandinavia continues (even if only in my mind).

Copenhagen Bike Share
Digging the new bike share designs that won a contest sponsored by the city of Copenhagen. Good looking and functional; definitely a combination that should get more people riding.
We’ve posted more pictures over at Under Solen — go take a look!
Big and Small Players in Carbon Emissions
I posted this blog post about carbon emissions today over on the Under Solen blog, but I think it deserves to get posted here as well.
From Under Solen:
In our ongoing coverage about how climate change is affecting us and how people in the U.S. are taking action, today we bring you a couple of graphics and statistics to show just who’s emitting carbon. Thanks to the New York Times for the visuals. And if you’re interested in carbon emissions per capita, make your way over to this useful Google guide, made with World Bank data, that you can easily search by country, and compare statistics.
The U.S. – 20% of emissions, 30% of G.D.P. 5% of people.
Per capita, the U.S. emits 19.5 metric tons of CO2. The world average? 4.5.
Help Send Me to Copenhagen for COP 15
A big shout out to all you blog followers: I’ve applied to be Huffington Post’s Hopenhagen Ambassador. Basically if I win I get to fly to Copenhagen and be on the ground reporting about one of the most important international conferences of our time. But I need your help…
All you have to do is go to the Huffington Post slideshow and vote for my video! Just click here. (A ten would obviously be preferred…!) And maybe some social media love like Tweeting and Facebooking.
Thanks!

Copenhagen Transport
Found this over at one of my favorite blogs, Copenhagenize. Promotion of both cycling and public transportation is something all cities should strive for.
