end of story?


no, i think new york will see more cyclists and safer cycling overall as transportation agencies continue to normalize bicycling as transportation there. the city certainly sees the value of education about bicycling and are working on the educational component from what i've read.

There has been greater compliance with road rules from my reading of the conditions there,what is expected from an expanding, 'critical mass' of roadway cyclists- in the heavily ridden cities of europe, cyclist compliance with traffic signals is quite high. as cyclists here achieve a commuter criticality, compliance with the rules of the road goes up is my observation.

of course, new york city is quite unique with its already high ridership, dense conditions and culture of scofflaw messenger style cycling for those brave enough for the concrete canyons of manhattan.

what did you expect moving to new york city? Yes, adapting to a diverse network of transportation facilities is par for the course for a bicyclist in any large north american city. are the paths adjacent to the parks and traffic thoroughfares throwing you off?

San Francisco planners are deliberate about enhancing market street in san francisco with a diverse, mixed bag of traffic facilities to better keep the motorists and cyclists in that mondrian state of uncertainty.
