![Where the Bicycle was Invented (and Forgotten): Coventry [Guest Video]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Mxvk3KO8p20/hqdefault.jpg "Where the Bicycle was Invented (and Forgotten): Coventry [Guest Video]
Coventry - The City That Nearly Forgot The Bicycle
This special guest video was produced by Adam Tranter, the Bicycle Mayor for Coventry, in the UK.
Coventry holds an important place in the history of the bicycle. It is the city where both the penny-farthing, as well as the safety bicycle - the template for almost all modern bicycles - was invented.
In this short documentary, Adam explains the history of cycling in Coventry, and about the realities of cycling in Coventry today. Comparisons to Amsterdam and the Netherlands are provided.
This film will be shown as part of the Coventry Transport Museums new exhibition Gearing Up: From Saddle to Spoke online on Friday 12 March 2021. The exhibition (https://culturespacecoventry.com/gearing-up) – which it is hoped will open physically when the museum reopens – features over 80 cycles and celebrates the history, unique designs, and benefits of cycling.
You can find out more about Adam here: https://www.adamtranter.com or follow him on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/adamtranter

Watch this video ad-free on Nebula: https://nebula.tv/videos/not-just-bikes-the-ugly-dangerous-and-inefficient-stroads-found-all-over-the-us-canada-st05
Stroads are streets that are designed like roads and in doing so, fail at being good at either one. They are too sprawling and hostile to be good streets, and they are too busy and complicated to be good roads. Stroads are inefficient, unsafe, expensive, and ugly.
This video introduces the concept of Stroads, and talks about why you will (almost) never find these kind of places in the Netherlands: because here all roads need to have a single purpose as either a motorway, connector road, or end-destination street.
The name stroad was invented by Strong Towns as a way to explain why road design in the US is fundamentally broken.
