Do you get off the streets during rush hour, patrick? how long have you been riding 'american style'?
if you rode a bike like that in traffic you'd never be able to get anywhere. that traffic system fails miserably as an accomodation model for bicyclists.
so does plugging or attempting to plug a significant number of bicyclists onto american road infrastructure.
10 percent bike rider share along a narrow laned, high ADT, high speed road with curbs and those motorists will be frustrated to say the least- if a community could actually induce that much ridership along that type of high-demand corridor.
that traffic system fails miserably as well.
further accomodations are desired when considering bikes in the transportation mix along american road networks.
care to discuss the difference in participation rates between cyclists in the netherlands versus the US?
what cause the differences between senior citizen rider participation between Germany or the netherlands versus the USA, transportation planner?
