Felt then and now that there isn’t enough clear water between the category’s I fit in a number of boxes most of the time and could be all at different times, though same bike.. Yes, I agree. But I liked the article because it pointed out the fact that some cyclists will only ride when there is infrastructure that at least makes them feel safe (whether or not it actually is any safer than riding properly on the street). We have this issue in my city. Some residents that were opposed to a new multi-use trail insisted that it was unnecessary because the streets close to the new trail are not very busy and cyclists currently use the streets (even though there are a tremendous number of driveways and intersections with drivers not behaving properly). The residents in favor of the trail point out that there are many more people that would cycle to parks and schools if protected infrastructure were constructed. One of our goals is to get more people to avoid driving their children to school and having bicycle infrastructure is one component of getting more people on bicycles. If we could eliminate just a few hundred car trips per day to schools it would make a difference. |
