3.5% is still very respectable. We have 4% in SB.

Scot Gore's observations are true for me, too. In the 42 years I have lived in Santa Barbara, cycling infrastructure has grown but threats to marginalize cyclists have been unable to be carried out and scarcely even attempted. The wails and gnashing of teeth that we'll lose our rights to the road seems to be nothing but noise. 42 years and things only get better for us, not worse.

I am happy that some cyclists will fight for our rights to use the roads fully, but they need to stop the hysterical handwringing about how we'll lose our rights if we allow facilities to go in. That's not true. We should all be fighting for both full access to the roads AND facilities because that increases our power and numbers.
