Surprising to read that bike/ped numbers went down, it's constantly surprising how many bikes are out there in whatever weather here in the city.

What a bummer overall though, I do understand the need for a vehicle but still... the sprawl and perception of cycling here in the city is a big factor - a lot of my non-cycling friends really think it's too dangerous to ride on the roads here and I don't blame them for thinking that sometimes, it can be intimidating out there with legions of seemingly dimwitted/poorly qualified drivers chomping at the bit to get to the next red light/stop sign.
