This new reality of people wanting more to be on bikes is not being addressed by state budgets & transit policy, be it signs saying share he road, or racks on bus, or more service different times of the day, or removing bike restrictions for trains. Of course the Obama administration is having to deal with the circus that is the current congress, so till something there changes we'll need to rely on the states for any changes.
At some point people need to put ideology aside and address reality, facts, and logic. I anxiously wait for the day when this happens. Till then just gotta grin and bear it and be thankful i am able to ride at all.
