Biking in Detroit got a nice little plug on the Time Magazine blog (http://detroit.blogs.time.com/2009/09/23/taking-back-the-streets-one-bicycle-at-a-time/):
In Detroit, there are cars. And then there is something known as “non-motorized transportation.”
That means bicycles, y'all.
Believe it or not, people in the Car Capital of the World love their bikes. And there is a huge movement to create a culture here that is friendlier to two wheels than four.
One such project would develop about 400 miles of bicycle lanes throughout Detroit. All it would take is some paint, new signs and a little cash, said Scott Clein, who heads the Detroit office of Giffels-Webster Engineers.
