Personally, I don't see much changing at all without some significant event as a catalyst. Even as gas prices increase, which they will, until they reach the $5 a gallon level in the US, the current trend of cutting back on other things to finance driving will continue. Recreational cycling facilities will continue to get the majority of the funding, while little will be done in the name of utility cycling or commuting. The roads will continue to become more dangerous for everyone and enforcement of traffic laws will still be driven more by revenue opportunities than any organized effort towards improving safety. The number of people using bicycles will increase, but the percentage using the roadways will remain constant at best, or maybe decrease, while the majority opt for the 'safety' of ever increasing non-roadway facilities. IMO, cycling advocates must focus more effort on joining with traffic safety advocates to push for better enforcement of traffic laws to at least give the perception that road safety is improving if they ever want to have more cyclists using the roadways. Based on what I see from current advocacy groups and how splintered they are among their priorities, I'm not optimistic that they will have any impact, rather they will be simply reacting rather than proactively effecting change, and continuing to fight among themselves on the issue of cycling facilities.
