I think that's great what DE has decided to do. But I have to say, it took them a while.
I dislike riding there for one reason: It is an autobahn culture. They are more obsessed with the automobile than the USA.
I think the overall idea of huge bike transit systems is a bit backwards. Oil and the automobile will rule for a long time to come.
More efficient, automatized, smaller vehicles are the future of transport.
I will however still ride a bike.
