[Bent] Car Free centers

[JOHN TETZ]

Hello Tapio;

I feel your comets were right on particularly about the lack of car free areas in US cities. 

Back in 1996 I went to the week long Car Free Cities Conference held in Copenhagen. I gave a talk on my Up Hill assist for the simultaneously held Bike Culture week. 

There were as I remember 35 or so cities from many European countries were present. No US cities were there. High on the list of helping solve the car free areas was the bicycle. 

That was back in 1996. Since then more and more European cities have adopted car free city centers. So naturally you would be very sensitive to the lack of this here in the US.
