A lot has to do with our idiotic traffic lights that are not sycrnoized, so all cars stop-go-stop-go through town. What an enormous waste of fuel just because our city traffic department can't figure out how to syncronize the stop lights.
The best solution is a
"green wave" traffic light system that's timed to favor bicycles.
