In Cambridge, MA, USA, and nearby communities, bike advocates have made real progress with lanes and paths and general infrastructure. Also the city requires that new builds have a proper bike room. This building was recently gutted and fitted out and this is the bike room today - overloaded, and the building is barely half full... Looks like they will need to find more efficient bike racks!
Meanwhile in a recent commute I was in a queue of 30 bicycles at a light at which about 6-8 cars get through at a time. 10-15 years ago I was one of the few bikes on the roads at any time.
Hats off to the advocates and representatives of the local cities that have made this happen through continuous pressure and work over decades...
Man, and I can barely find a bike rack in my city that's actually bolted down... Jealous!
why do you hate people?
Do you not welcome our new bicycle overlords?
no, it's the 21st century. It's fine to move forward toward Jetsonmobiles and transporters, not backwars to bikes.
In the mean time have you we've actually driven in a road? You have two options: (1.) stupid bicyclists who don't follow the rules, like not even showing down for stop signs, or (2.) stupid politicians who get rid of useful lanes to create protected bike lanes that are used near 0% of the time.
