Build it and they will come - but where are they?

It's not going to be bicycles that are the top contributor to vehicle reductions, but if they can contribute just 1-2% it would be significant. What is the relevant definition of "significant"? Between 2016 and 2017, annual U.S. miles driven increased 2.8%. https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-...-u-s-last-year If bicycles reduced that by 1% to 2%, things would be back to where they were in about four to eight months. I wouldn't call that significant. Some people in r.b.t. have a distorted view of the value of bicycle infrastructure since they are perfectly happy to ride without any. Hmm. We just joined some friends for a ride of a bit over 30 miles. Maybe five miles were on a near-empty MUP. That was nice. The rest was on perfectly ordinary roads with no special bicycle infrastructure. That was just as nice. I thought people who are perfectly happy to ride without special infrastructure are called "cyclists." -- - Frank Krygowski |
