The eggbeater's simple design gives the advantage of amazing mud shedding and 4 points of entry making it perfect for XC trail riding and cyclo cross. The crankbrothers eggbeater is an iconic pedal designed by Carl and Frank the original founders of crankbrothers they were tired of getting stuck in mud-covered pedals with no way in or out.  They realised that existing pedals were too complicated….It started with a simple question: what is the best way to attach a shoe to a crank?  To answer this question Carl and Frank created a system with only two moving parts hinging on a spring.  This system became known as the eggbeater pedal and later it was adapted into the candy pedal.  Cleat: Premium brass cleats included Shims: Included Release Angle: 15° to 20° Warranty: 5 years Weight: 278g per pair Spindle: Forged scm435 chromoly steel Body: cast stainless steel Wings: cast stainless steel Spring: 300 series stainless steel Inner bearing: Needle Outer bearing: Cartridge Maximum rider weight: No restrictions Colours options: Silver/Blue or Silver/Red You can customise the fit and feel of your pedal using crankbrothers tread contact sleeves CRB-13282.  They shims come with 3 different thicknesses enabling the rider to ensure good contact between their shoes and the pedal axle as the tread wears down the contact can move away from the axle and onto the wings of the pedal. You may also like to run the pedals on your road / commuter bike.  Buy a set of Quattro cleats CRB-15289 to use on your road shoes.  It makes pulling off from junctions a breeze as you have 4 points of entry to the pedals. As with the rest of the crankbrothers range the pedals are fully serviceable with a level 3 / 11 service kit product code CRB-11730.  Servicing is simple and does not require any specialist tools just a flat head screwdriver socket wrench and 8mm allen key to hold the pedal by the axle. We recommend that the pedal is cleaned and greased every 30 hours of riding and the bearings are inspected for wear.

Copenhagen style bicycle lanes

Copenhagen style bicycle lanes are being considered by many towns now as they have proven hugely successful across numerous countries in keeping accident and mortality rates down. Denmark, it seems, has always been at the forefront of bicycle planning and they have truly stunning figures for per-capita bicycle usage.

 

Bicycle Copenhagenization

Separated lane design in Melbourne, Australia

The City of Melbourne in Australia is considered up there too, being at the forefront of trying to find ways to ensure that every user of the road – pedestrians, cyclists and car drivers – can all be safe and share the same road infrastructure. In 2007, they introduced a new ‘separated lane’ design that was installed along the Northernmost end of Swanston Street, running from Franklin Street to Faraday Street over in Carlton. These bicycle lanes now run alongside the pedestrian footpath and car drivers have to park on the outside of the bicycle lanes. A one metre wide ‘safety island’ separates the bike lane from these parked cars. In many areas the tram system is also active, running in the centre of the road.

 

Copenhagen style bicycle lane

 

Accident and mortality rates reduced

Between 1998 and 2003, there were 11 serious accidents documented that involved cyclists and cars along this part of Swanston Street in Melbourne and many more minor injuries and accidents happened. When the new bicycle lane system went live, what originally was introduced as a trial quickly became a sensible solution, although there was some automotive chaos that ensued immediately after the road change, notably related to parking. Although we struggled to find exact figures, the accident rate is said to have dramatically reduced.

Wunderbar, wunderbar Copenhagenization!

It is commonly known as the ‘Copenhagen’ style of bike lane because the first documented bike lanes of this type were constructed in Denmark’s capital city. This style of bicycle, pedestrian and car separation, now nicknamed ‘Copenhagenization’, has been used successfully across Europe. The wide ‘island’ (essentially a raised kerb) helps to prevent cyclists from colliding with opened car doors or car occupants who have just exited their cars.  It also provides important visual clues as to the proper road positioning for each road user, something that we, as cyclists, are all too aware often gets abused.

 

Swanston Street Copenhagen Lane

Is this the way forward for town cycling?

Bike separated lanes partition motorists from cyclists, allowing both to travel more safely on the same road networks and we can’t advocate this enough. We firmly believe that it should be part of any new urban road design structures. With this type of change there is a need for public education though. New methods and systems for our roads mean that drivers and pedestrians can get confused, have longer journeys and hence blame the ‘lycra clad brigade’ for their woes. We have seen it happen before and will doubtless see it again. However, if you experience a Copenhagen style layout from every user’s perspective, which we were lucky enough to do on a recent trip to Melbourne, you can see a modern, almost futuristic infrastructure that includes pedestrian, cyclist, motorcyclist, car driver and tram user in a safe and harmonious layout, albeit for a small percentage of the City’s large area.

With the City of Melbourne making such a commitment to encourage sustainable transport models we really do hope that this will be taken on board in many other towns and indeed countries.

I’ll leave you with this video that shows the bike lanes in Copenhagen. If you’re in most other countries, battling daily for your piece of road, this will probably look like heaven!
