Please can you tell me what the simple pictogram at 00:40 in the second video means. It looks like a cyclist in silhouette from behind. As far as I know, we do not have them in the U.K.
It's the symbol for The Green Wave. Stretches of streets with the traffic lights coordinated for cyclists. If you cycle 20 km/h you'll hit green lights all the way into the city centre.
Thank you. Now I know why we don't have such a pictogram in the U.K.. I live in Exeter, on of the "Cycling demonstration towns" and the official cycling map (http://www.devon.gov.uk/excguide.pdf) highlights (yellow) "quieter roads suitable for cycling" and (green) "traffic free cycle route". Many of the latter, it may be noted, are well away from the city centre.

And here for a film about it.
Might I point out that you won't find anybody trumpeting Los Angeles as "The City of Drivers".
Nice,

Hi Anonymous - yes it is Fiest "I Feel it all" from her album 'The Reminder' - a great record :o)
