As a matter of discussion, what U.S. forward looking cities spend what a rational person would consider a disproportionate amounts of public funding on various infrastructure items to encourage riding, in comparison to the public funding spent on roads, streets, highways, bridges, tunnels, and all forms of public transportation in the same municipality?
ILTB.....darn it your making me agree with you again! Of course I think are points are the same, just worded differently
the point is that rational people understand the benefits of (what in the total picture are inexpensive) cycling projects, but the non rational complain about everything (bicyles, mass tranist, etc). However this can be an obstacle as the non rational oftne yell louder.
