No, he is THE story!!! Fortunately, his name is the same as a car company, not a bike company.

Is my city improving or am I just getting used to it? Certainly, there are some bike lanes but they're not well connected. Regent street sharrow section runs a few blocks but there is nothing before or after which is a pity because it almost reaches to Four Corners where there is a lot of shopping stores. Paris also connects to Four Corners on a decently paved road but there are no bike lanes. There are some paths away from roads but I wouldn't recommend them for cyclists in that they're relatively narrow and walkers (with and without dogs) tend to use them a lot: they'd be fine for a "Sunday ride" at walking pace but I wouldn't recommend them for anyone who wants to use them at a commuting pace.

In the past, I've tended to ride on residential streets and only some sections of some roads are well used so for the most part, commuting is relatively easy for me but others in other parts of the city would have to deal with higher traffic roads and a lack of support for bikes.
