actually, danarnold, design of select road corridors with preferred class infrastructure as part of a dedicated, well considered bike route network leads to MORE bicyclists on ALL roads in a community.
your big "IF" is not a worry. your fears are overblown, its not a worry. I reiterated the reasons it is not a worry. Yes.
Regional bike networks with on road bike infrastructure does not lead to less bicyclists on the roads. where in the world do you get this impression? this impression of yours is misguided, and wildly incorrect when looking at cities that plan for bicyclists in the transportation mix with on road, bicyclist specific roadscaping.
sure, maybe some motorists would still think bicyclists have to use bike lanes (YAWN)
Build in bike infrastructure, cities get bicyclsts ALL OVER THE PLACE! like rats
