That, IMO, is the biggest take away. In a dense urban core, alternative transport competes more readily with cars. As it stands, 0.6% bike transport is very sad. I recently moved from Vancouver, where in comparison to most NA cities we've done a lot to increase alternative transport methods. It's downright sad to see the lack of infrastructure and the vicious cycle of driving -> urban spawl and the proliferation of massive parking lots and isolated islands of wakability. * Vancouver has crumby weather compared to the beautiful weather that Silicon Valley gets. More should be done to encourage biking and public transit. There really isn't any excuse.
