No, not as far as infrastructure. The metro area is getting better all the time. In fact, Arizona ranked at 7th for bicycle friendly state. And Tempe ranked at 30th for bicycle friendly cities. We have 3 cities in the top 50.

Now, that means nothing if the drivers inhabiting these cities are a$$holes, and in that, we have no shortage. I don't look at much television but every other commercial is for a D.U.I. attorney. And I swear, the entire message of these commercials for people that have been arrested for DRIVING DRUNK is that THEY ARE THE VICTIMS. I'm telling you, sometimes we live in a bass ackwards society.

A very disturbing thing about Arizona is that we put crosses up at the location of fatal accidents. Most will have flowers, candles and balloons... a little makeshift memorial. And often times a sign next to the picture of the victim that will say... "My son was killed by a DRUNK driver".
