  • Cycling Center by Erik Hallberg and We Are You
    <a href="http://www.weareyou.se/start.html">We Are You</a> and Erik Hallberg have designed a cycling center that they hope will help to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copenhagen">"Copenhagenize" Gothenburg</a>. Copenhagenizing a city means to transform it from one that relies mostly on cars to one that instead prioritizes bicycles, but getting to that point takes time. The designers hope that this new Velodrome designed for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slottsskogen">Slottskogen</a> - the site of Sweden's very first cycling competition - will catalyze the process.
