Arlington, TX is the largest city in the U.S. without public transportation. The reason is that the city doesn't want the type of people moving here that wouldn't own a car. A.K.A. poor people who obviously do drugs and murder the rich folks. What that also means is that they purposely do NOT want people biking here. There are no meaningful bike paths here, except for the one over a single bridge. At the beginning of the bridge, it says "Share the Road", and at the end, it says, "bicycle lane ends". Wow, thanks Arlington.

BTW, what I think is ultimately ironic is that Arlington has some REAL GHETTO sections. The people just drive hooptie cars. It never crossed anyone's mind that if we had busses, then people could sell their cars and improve their lives!

Arlington got their wish, I only see people on bicycles about once a week.

This is the city with the new Dallas Cowboys stadium, Texas Rangers Stadium, Six Flags, and Hurricane Harbor, all right next to each other, all next to where I work. WOW! It would be so easy to put in bike lines, but instead, they are building a new highway right through all of this crap. Again, thanks Arlington. What a craphole, I am leaving ASAP.
