In only a decade, from 2002 to 2012, the number of trips made on a bicycle in Reykjavík grew ten-times. More trips are made on a bicycle in Reykjavík than in any large American city and this small capital has its sight on becoming one of the great bicycle capitals in the world. How did this happen, and what role did the economic crash in 2008 have in this development?

Gísli Marteinn Baldursson is a former city councillor for Reykjavík and a television talk-show host. He has been a key figure in putting sustainable urban planning on the political agenda in Reykjavík and Iceland. Concerned with increasing urban sprawl, increased traffic, air and water pollution and public health concerns like obesity, Gísli has devoted himself to speaking, writing and otherwise raising awareness about the need for re-densification and sustainable planning in Reykjavík. Harvard University recently choose Gísli as one of ten people to be a Loeb Fellow at the Graduate School of Design for the academic year of 2014-15.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
