Cyclists in Vienna

维也纳，维也纳。欧洲最具活力的城市空间之一很难印象深刻。不久，世界可能会惊讶于其自行车文化。在2012年温哥华的Velo-City期间，ECF花了一些时间与维也纳副市长玛丽亚·瓦西拉库（Maria Vassilakou）聊天。

玛丽亚·瓦西拉考（Maria Vassilakou）is a wonder woman. With a delayed plane on route to Vancouver, she still managed to make it on a stage with a smile and enthusiasm. No wonder she's making huge changes in the Austrian Capital.

When you talk about cycling in Austria, Vienna does not wear the crown. That probably goes to Salzburg or Graz. But there’s little doubt that cycling is on the up. In 2005 the city saw 3% of all trips made by bicycle. By 2009, trips had double and by 2015, the city wants to have 10% of all trips by bike.

维也纳副市长，自称自行车上瘾者玛丽亚·瓦西拉库（Maria Vassilakou）解释说：“我们发现您必须做两件事以增加自行车。”

“First of all you’ve got to improve your infrastructure. This is why we’re investing right now…to improve our infrastructure”

去年，这座城市安装了17公里的自行车道和车道。但是根据Vasilakou的说法，基础设施并不是整个故事。她认为促进骑自行车是必须的。

“第二重要的是晋升。我们正在维也纳的特殊活动来做到这一点。Velo-City 2013将是一个巨大的帮助。”

The city won the bid to host the Velo-city conference in Vienna, and has dedicated 2013 as the year of the bicycle. City planners, including Vassilakou are predicting a huge boom in bicycle use when the conference is held next year and they’ll be running a whole series of promotional campaigns which aims to get the city cycling.

该市有大量的公共交通旅行。实际上，在奥地利首都进行的所有旅行中，有75％是通过公共交通，步行或骑自行车完成的。汽车绝不是国王。

“如果您看到汽车和其他运输方式之间存在公平的关系，并且如果您确保公共交通工具比开车便宜，那么您要比通往更平衡的运输方式”。

But at the moment, the biggest thorn in Vienna’s transport policy is commuters coming from outside of Vienna. The cities roads are often clogged by numberplates from neighbouring towns.

玛丽亚·瓦西拉考（Maria Vassilakou）

玛丽亚·瓦西拉考（Maria Vassilakou）is the Vice-mayor of Vienna and is one of the rare politicians that “gets” cycling. She doesn’t just pay talk about cycling, but she carefully plans strategies that get more people on bikes. She spoke at a keynote session at Velo-city Vancouver 2012, and her city has won the bid to host next year’s Velo-city 2013 conference.

“有一个广泛而又上升的通勤问题。每天有25万通勤者乘汽车到达。我们将不得不投资公园和乘车设施。郊区火车的间隔需要具有更高的频率。”

She also plans to put in place a comprehensive bicycle parking program for the city. And despite the commuter problem, you can’t help but sense the energy and passion of this Vice-Mayor. She believes wholeheartedly that her city is going to cycle.

“我想要一半的维也纳自行车，”她微笑着。“我现在43岁，我认为一生，我可以实现它。”
