Over on twitter @urbanthoughts11 is doing a series of amazing tweets with pics/gifs of what the cost of a current motorway project could pay for in bike infra for the same city. Here's a couple of examples:

In Swedish, but kinda big:
http://www.bicycling.se/blogs/kriste...30-procent.htm Cyclists crossing into/out of the Inner City is up 30 % last year over the previous year. Yeah, a 30% increase in one year. 76 000 per day is the new number. We're still way behind Copenhagen, but with continuing investments in bike infra we're heading in the right direction. |

In Tokyo 14 percent of all trips are done by bike, every single day. Yet Tokyo does not have the cycling infrastructure of an Amsterdam or even Hamburg, which is something most western minds believe to be a necessity for encouraging cycling. Not that wider cycling lanes wouldn't help boost the 14 percent mode share, but Japanese folks in Tokyo have shown they will cycle regardless. If there's no bike lane, they'll just hop on the sidewalk or wherever they feel safe.

His argument is that bikes on the sidewalks is too dangerous for pedestrians but my argument is that bikes in the streets is too dangerous for cyclists. Maybe part of the problem is that in the US we have all these spandex freaks who think they are in the Tour de France all the time. If you are going fast enough that you would injure a pedestrian in a collision you are going too fast. Plus in Tokyo I learned pretty quick that when I hear that bell I step aside. |

anything faster than about 6 mph (2x walking speed) has the potential to injure a pedestrian in a collision, and that's a retardedly slow speed for a bicycle. i use my bike to get to work everyday. i ride 5 miles to get to my office from home. if i rolled on the sidewalk at 6 mph, that would make for an overall average speed of ~5 mph (traffic lights, stop signs, traffic, etc.), and it would take me 60 minutes to get to work. back here in the real world, i roll in the streets at 20 mph, for an overall average of ~15 mph, so it takes me around 20 minutes to get to work. hmmmmm, 60 minutes vs. 20 minutes, that's kind of a big difference for a daily commute. and 20 mph is way too fucking fast for sidewalks. also, riding a bicycle on the sidewalk is illegal in the city of chicago for anyone over 12 years of age. |
