Just saw this - implementing this would be just a great step for so many reasons:
- reduce pollution
- reduce noise
- reduce gas consumption
- ease pressure on other modes eg bus and train
- reduce traffic congestion
- improve physical fitness
- improve heath
- reduce health care costs (something we desperately need with the 'success' of our universal health program :-)
- save money
We have a long way to go before we catch up to other cities. NYC added 200 miles of bike lanes last year. Boston? 5 miles. Bicycling mag named Boston the worst city to bike in THREE times!
