I was really impressed by an article I read showing bicycle friendly areas of the world. Especially the Netherlands, bicycles, bicycles everywhere.
In many cities in the Netherlands, the daily commute is mostly bicyclists. I think that is so cool.
Moving to Phoenix, AZ from a small town in north central Massachusetts put me into a more bicycle friendly area. Phoenix has designated bicycle lanes and a public transport system with bicycle carriers on the front of the buses.
It would be nice for more areas of the US to implement bicycle friendly legislation and design. Wide bicycle lanes, converting old, unsued railroad paths to paved bike trails, wide sidewalks, etc.
In Phoenix they have bicycle paths that follow the canal system so one can go long distances across the city with only minimal sections where they are cycling alongside traffic. I would like to see more of this and other similar designs.
It would be nice to slowly see US cities applying more of the European 'walking and biking' friendly model into their designs and renovations.
