It's not by accident or default that we're at the top of the list. Bikers are taken seriously here.
That's a pretty cool concept in those pictures. I'd have to learn all over again with those bus lanes, though. Out here, if there is parking, you're in the door zone in the bike lane, pretty much without exception. I'm out in "The 'Burbs" though, so we have a lot of bike lanes with just the curb and no parking.
