Last year I blogged about the ciclovía in Bogotá, Colombia, asking: "What if Ciclovia caught on in America?"

It appears a form of that has happened, here it is in New York City:

It's interesting how much better the streets look when they are full of people, not noisy vehicles. And look at the smiles.

A little Googling reveals that such events are being held in El Paso, TX, Baltimore, MD, Portland, OR, among other cities.

I hope this movement continues to spread to other cities, including Knoxville.
