Barcelona's Bizarre Bicycle Infrastructure

Urban design expert Mikael Colville-Andersen spends a lot of time in Barcelona and often calls it his "second city". So when the Catalan capital continues to design badly for bicycles, he kinda takes it personally because he knows they can - and should - be doing it better. Instead, they spend taxpayer money on bizarre, failed designs that do little to promote cycling as a transport form.

To be honest: Left turns in Kopenhagen arend much better than in this example. Amsterdam and the Netherlands in general do it much better.

And I had spent a year in BcN thinking their bike infrastructure was amazing....but then again this was the only bike infrastructure I knew.

Hector Quinones, yeah. I am the opposite. Saw Belgian and Dutch and then the barcelona 😆

I think you should come to Helsinki and judge our bicycle design.

Funny, depressing, and head-ache inducing. I would be embarrassed if I was the designer.

[@benobaars]

Just interview the people behind this design, if they are a life..

Have you seen the new painted crossroads?

As a Copenhagener, cycling around Barcelona I feel unsafe and confused CONSTANTLY. I hate this garbage.
