Building a Bicycle Infrastructure
18 July, 2008
Straight from Brian Williams and NBC Nightly News, here’s a video on the growing trend of bicycle commuting and how Portland leads the way. Among the changes to city infrastructure: traffic calming, bike lanes, and extra parking spaces.
Washington D.C. is even starting a bike rental program this year. Very Cool (see this post).

And the corresponding story, Deadly tension on the roads — cars vs. bikes (c’mon, can you pick a more sensational headline?):

The article also mentions the high demand faced by Utah’s FrontRunner, as more and more cyclists pack their bikes on the train (see this post).
For now, this level of exposure is fantastic. We’ll probably add some commentary in future posts.
