re: #316 Feline Fearless Leader

I am still amazed at how anti-bicycle and anti-scooter US cities generally are. They have to be strong-armed almost into establishing bike lanes (and usually poorly designed and enforced ones at that.) And once you have the lanes there is still the on-going issue with secure storage of the bicycle once you reach the destination since racks and parking space for bicycles is another afterthought.

That’s something of an over-generalization. Many cities in the Pacific Northwest and Upper Midwest are quite progressive on bike commuting and transit. Tons of bike lanes, many abandoned rail lines turning into dedicated off-grade trails, things like that.

Nothing to the extent of Copenhagen or Amsterdam, certainly, but progress is being made.
