And yes, it probably is because out economy is struggling. <BR/><BR/>Maybe there's work in in though- we desperately need more bike lanes! They are few and far between.<BR/><BR/>But the chic-er we look riding, the more the riding will be noticed, right? ;-)Gladishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02501320818026969467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2210935752673952814.post-85829294944944045382008-10-01T08:08:00.000+02:002008-10-01T08:08:00.000+02:00thanks for the comments.yes, it looks like Trump d...thanks for the comments.<BR/>yes, it looks like Trump doesn't it?!<BR/><BR/>marije... i agree... there are many small pockets of bike culture but my point was merely that things always kick off big time when it becomes mainstream in large, world-class cities.<BR/><BR/>it's just an observation. the big cities set the trends, even if the trends started somewhere else.Colville-Andersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16749740728099129703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2210935752673952814.post-8874328409861389672008-10-01T07:38:00.000+02:002008-10-01T07:38:00.000+02:00"And when it happens in cities like Paris and New ..."And when it happens in cities like Paris and New York, it will spread. Wonderful." <BR/><BR/>There can be exceptions, as well - the small-ish city of Davis, CA has the highest number of bikes per capita in the USA. It's a perfect example of what CCC talks about - there's no lycra or carbon bikes, the city just built grade-separated bike lanes and all the normal people and college kids started using them. <BR/><BR/>Fantastic old photo on their site, too: http://daviswiki.org/BicyclingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2210935752673952814.post-71594851725995028712008-10-01T04:33:00.000+02:002008-10-01T04:33:00.000+02:00Yeah, finally Atlanta gets on Copenhagen Cycle Chi...Yeah, finally Atlanta gets on Copenhagen Cycle Chic.
