Our city council is attempting to plan for an infrastructure that would support a lot more cycling commuters. But part of the trick is deciding on how best to implement. Some groups would like to see "bicycle highways", while others would like to see existing lanes changed over to bike lanes. I think it requires a hard look at local conditions to come up with a good solution.
One thing that should be implemented, however, is a good introduction to riding on roads for all cyclists and certainly something of the same for motorists viz-a-viz cyclists.
Whatever happens, it seems like a good portion of future federal project money will be diverted to cycling infrastructure,
