Reality check: While I support the kinds of improvements Steve describes, this senior citizen is doing just fine using a bicycle as sole means of transportation in a typical American auto-centric community. You need to dig much deeper than the absence of bicycle infrastructure to fathom the root cause of North America’s decadent downward spiral. A nation whose principal form of ”exercise” is watching obese people work out on television is not going to send hordes of people out on bicycles just because you draw white lines on the roadways.
