Into the Unknown
［A］ Four days earlier， and some 1，000 or so kilometers north⁃east， I was sitting in a conference room at the University of Copenhagen's Department of Public Health，overlooking the beautiful lakes area. Around the table were health researchers Astrid Ledgaard Holm， Henning Langberg and Henrik Bronnum⁃Hansen. Ledgaard Holm， a doctoral student， has investigated the health impacts of increased cycling. Studying physical activity， exposure to accidents and air pollution， she and colleagues found that the overall burden of disease—including heart disease， stroke， type II diabetes （糖尿病）， breast cancer， colon cancer （结肠癌）， cardiopulmonary disease （心肺疾病） and lung cancer—was reduced in people who cycled. The positive health effects of increased cycling were more than a third larger than the potential loss of health from bicycle accidents and air pollution.
［B］ Other studies investigating the health impacts of cycling have found similar positive benefits， although the degree varies. In a different study based in Copenhagen，researchers analyzed data from over 13，000 women and 17，000 men to explore the impact of physical activity on mortality. Even after adjusting for other factors， such as physical activity in leisure time， they found that people who did not cycle to work experienced a 39% higher death rate than those who did. In other words， cycling prolonged people's life.
［C］ One of the most interesting insights the Danish （丹麦的） researchers share is how they've discovered that many Danes （丹麦人） don't consider cycling exercise. “People here can easily be riding back and forth 5 km per day， and if you ask them on a questionnaire if they are physically active， they will say ‘No， I don't do any exercise'.”Says Holm. For many here， she says， it's not a choice of activity， but your mode of transport.
［D］ What's immediately striking about cycling in Copenhagen is the incredible diversity of individuals on bicycles.Cycling in the morning rush⁃hour traffic on Norrebrogade，one of Copenhagen's busiest cycle routes， I see a woman in a long flowing black jilbab （穆斯林女式长袍） pedaling a cargo bike with two small children in the basket. I see men of all ages in suits； women in dresses， high⁃heeled boots and smart coats， flowing garments. I see university students and children cycling to school； babies fastened into child seats on the front or back of mum or dad's bike； and groups of children pedaling along in strong Christiana or streamlined Bullit bikes. Some children ride the cycle paths independently.Others are accompanied by parents cycling alongside， who guide their children with the occasional gentle hand on the back.
［E］ While cycling to interviews at the University of Copenhagen one morning， I came across a temporary memorial on the side of the street. At the intersection of Store Kongensgade and Dronningens Tværgade in the city center， a stretch of tarmac （柏油碎石路面）， the length of a body was decorated with fresh flowers and candle jars inscribed with handwritten notes. I discovered later that it's where a 20⁃year⁃old woman on her bike was struck and killed several weeks earlier by a tourist bus making a right⁃hand turn.
［F］ Decades after streets were first painted with white crosses to mark fallen cyclists， cycling accidents， although rare， are still considered seriously here. Only one Copenhagen cyclist was killed in 2012， and no year from 1998 to 2012 has seen more than seven cyclists killed in the city， according to Statistics Denmark. These figures are quite something in a city where the population cycles an estimated 1.27 million km every day.The risk associated with being a cyclist in Copenhagen “has dropped by more than 70%over the last 15 years” according to Niels Torslov， the City of Copenhagen's traffic director. “And it's a very strong story about finding the right measures， and designing a road space in a way that protects the users， especially those cycling.”
［G］ The use of cycling helmets （头盔） is growing among Copenhageners， noticeably more than in Amsterdam， where helmet wearing is still very much an exception. At the time of her accident， in 2006， Ann⁃Doerthe Hass Jensen was wearing a helmet， though clearly， as she says herself， a helmet protects your head but not your feet. She says that working at Copenhagen's Center for Rehabilitation of Brain Injury， as she does， makes you crazy about helmets. “There is no way I would not have a helmet on.” She says.
［H］ So， how do we make our cities better for cyclists？ Safe⁃cycling cities， policies and legislation already exist， and can inspire others. In Oregon， Portland's “vulnerable user law，” for example， is made according to a European safety concept， says Portland attorney Ray Thomas， a partner at Swanson， Thomas， Coon and Newton， who specializes in cycling law. In Copenhagen， in one of many unplanned interviews with cyclists on city streets， I came across a young American student—Mike Milan， from Greenville，South Carolina—who was studying architecture there.“As I've learned in my urban design class here， Copenhagen has tried to slow down the city to a human pace，and a human scale，” he said. His thoughts conceptually make the city's transport philosophy clear， and are equally applicable to Amsterdam.
［I］ “Making people feel safer on bikes should not mean equipping them with reflective helmets，” says Jack Harris， owner of London's Tally Ho！ Cycle Tours. “We need infrastructure that allows more people to get onto bikes.” The places that are serious about encouraging cycling as a safe， accessible and pleasant mode of transport have some tough decisions to make about vulnerable users，including cyclists，in the allocation of urban space.
____1. Infrastructure that allows more people to get onto bikes is needed to make people feel safer on bikes.
____2. Researchers found that cycling reduced the overall burden of disease in cyclists.
____3. It's striking that there are various kinds of people cycling in Copenhagen.
____4. It is common for Danes to cycle 5 km per day， but they don't classify cycling as exercise.
____5. Researchers in Copenhagen found that cycling made people live longer.
____6. A part of the road， where a 20⁃year⁃old woman on her bike was struck and killed by a tourist bus several weeks earlier， is decorated with fresh flowers and candle jars.
____7. Researchers found that people who did not ride a bicycle to work had a higher death rate than those who did.
____8. There are already safe⁃cycling cities，policies and legislation，which can inspire others.
____9. Less than seven cyclists died from cycling accidents from 1998 to 2012 in Copenhagen.
____10. More and more cyclists in Copenhagen are using cycling helmets.
