Dalat on the Bike
Translated by Khuat Viet Hung. A very interesting article on the Vietnamese online newpaper, Tuoitre online (27 May 2005). This article describes a cycling revolution in Dalat, a small touristic Town in the Central High Land of Vietnam. The founder of this revolution is not a sustainable transport expert or businessman, but a schoolgirl who started the idea with 15 couple bikes in order to save her family life.

Translator's note: I tried to translate the Vietnamese article into English and the shortages of time and language capability don't allow me to do an excellent job. However, I hope that the article will provide you an interesting example of how to start to pull people to use bicyles in a developing city.
