Here in NYC, it's nice that lots of different kinds of people are commuting by bike. They're not bike nuts like us. They're just people of all sorts.
Fortunately the pace seems to be picking up so hopefully we'll see another 60% increase in the next couple of years and then continue on that pace. I'm in NYC fairly often. It's been good to see the increase in people riding, protected bike lanes, bike parking, and shops like Adeline Adeline and Rolling Orange. I think I saw 5 different bakfiets last weekend which was great. Helmets and lycra seem to be going the way of Robert Moses.
