Who needs bike lanes?
I guess, having sidewalk ramps just about every corner, you can cross
easily from sidewalk to sidewalk. I think they were originally
intended for wheelchairs, but I'm sure bikers outnumber handicap users
at least 10 to 1.
True that the American suburb where the well-to-do live, often lacks
sidewalks at all, but chances are that if you live there you own an
SUV.
So it is that sidewalks in America carry a good chunk of cyclists that
otherwise would not have a chance to ride since are our roads remain
no-man's land.
Yep, we probably have the best sidewalks in the world.
