Build it and they will come... however it needs to be built properly. The largish town to the south of me has... STOP THE PRESSES... put in bike lanes!
however they are in residential areas on side streets with 25 mph speed limits.
Forget the fact that the down is cut in to sections by large 6 lanes roads that only a track sprinter can cross on a single cycle of the walk light. Pedestrians and cyclists get mowed down indiscriminately.
