Unfortunately, the cycling infrastructure in my town (London, Ontario) leaves a lot to be desired. The city has taken pains in the last few years to add some bike lanes, which helps, but I often hear/read of motorists griping about the lanes and cyclists in general. We do have approximately 30 km (~18.5 mi) of scattered MUP, but little of it is connected enough to provide a route from one side of the city to the other. There are plenty of designated "Bike Road Routes" throughout the city; some are marked with signs showing a little bicycle icon, and some are unmarked, but in any case most motorists seem (IMHO) to ignore them. Again, many of these road routes are unconnected. Many motorists complain of London's road infrastructure, let alone cyclists. I get very jealous when I see pics of miles and miles of unbroken Southern California bicycle trails, or images of the cycling infrastructure in some European cities.
