Streetfilms – NYC City Bike Rack Design Competition

Following up on our earlier post about bicycling in Fort Worth vs. Austin, here’s a Streetfilm about the New York City bike rack design competition. I like a couple of these, though again, I have to ask – what’s wrong with the simple, affordable inverted U rack? Install a zillion of ‘em and it’ll do a lot for bike support. Fort Worth’s current decorative “Texas star” racks are pretty lacking – they’re never in high concentrations, even in high bike-traffic spots, and they’re not even obviously bike racks.

Responsible and thoughtful comments are welcome. Be aware, though, that this site exists in part as an advocacy site for New Urbanism and its potential to remake Fort Worth into an even more livable city than it is today. Thoughtful dissent is generally welcome insofar as it fosters thoughtful replies. Inflammatory dissent, whether intentional or not, will be deleted. Commenters whose comments we routinely delete will be banned. Nothing personal, but this is a privately owned and operated web site, and we are aiming for a specific tone and audience. Work within those guidelines and all will be well.
