You make some good points. I too spent quite a bit of time in Europe, mostly in Germany and Holland, and it always blew me away to see dedicated bike roads and the diversity of people using their bikes for more then recreation. I have an enduring image of a women of at least 70 returning home from grocery shopping on her bike. I used to work in the music biz in Europe, and I always marveled at the swarm of bikes parked outside the venues I worked in. I truely believe America would greatly benefit from embracing bicycles more the way Europe does.
