I do hope it's turning around. Bicycling is certainly having "a moment" in cultural awareness these days and is really be considered in urban design. But it is coupled with this greatly increased focus on making children (supposedly) safer by removing elements of their independence, such as bicycling places. This has gone nuts even since I was a kid, and I'm not an old man, I'm 29. So I hope it's reversing at all levels, but I admit as both a commuter and a bike racer that it worries both about cycling as a sport and cycling as a way to get to work or get things done or get around. On the other hand, young people (younger than me) are driving less than ever, so there's that, too.
