The 2007 Import and Export Market for Bicycles and Other Motorless Cycles in Denmark

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on bicycles and other motorless cycles in Denmark face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying bicycles and other motorless cycles to Denmark? How important is Denmark compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of bicycles and other motorless cycles vary from one country of origin to another in Denmark? On the supply side, Denmark also exports bicycles and other motorless cycles. Which countries receive the most exports from Denmark? How are these exports concentrated across buyers? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers? This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for bicycles and other motorless cycles in Denmark. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for bicycles and other motorless cycles for those countries serving Denmark via exports, or supplying from Denmark via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models. In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing where Denmark fits into the world market for imported and exported bicycles and other motorless cycles. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for Denmark in particular, is estimated using a model which aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year. From there, each country represents a percent of the world market. This market is served from a number of competitive countries of origin. Based on both demand- and supply-side dynamics, market shares by country of origin are then calculated across each country market destination. These shares lead to a volume of import and export values for each country and are aggregated to regional and world totals. In doing so, we are able to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of both the value of each market and the share that Denmark is likely to receive this year. From these figures, rankings are calculated to allow managers to prioritize Denmark compared to other major country markets. In this way, all the figures provided in this report are forecasts that can be combined with internal information sources for strategic planning purposes.

How I Learned to Ride the Bicycle: Reflections of an Influential 19th Century Woman

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

In 1893 Frances Willard was at the height of her power and influence as leader of the women’s social reform movement. It was also a time when bicycles were wildly popular. And so, when her doctor recommended she exercise out-of-doors, Willard was determined to learn to ride. It was not easy for a woman in her fifty-third year, hampered by long skirts, but she was eager for the challenge. She hoped her example would help other women seek “a wider world.” She saw cycling as a way for women to gain independence, develop confidence, and be seen by men as equals in skill. A best-seller when originally published a century ago, Willard’s fascinating account of her adventure continues to enchant and inspire readers today. An introduction by Edith Mayo, curator of political history at the Smithsonian Institution, describes the life and work of Frances Willard and her role as an early leader of the women’s movement. The book concludes with an illustrated essay on the history of women and cycling.
