Funny, during the earlier and much larger bike boom of the '60s-'70s, most cycling took place in those supposedly "unbikeable" suburbs. Even our resident curmudgeon cat likely rode many a mile through those "unbikeable" suburbs around Philly. Surprisingly enough, we did it without bike lanes or bike paths.
