> The winding streets slow traffic down, making it safer to cycle around when compared to the fast and wide roads of New York. I think the way to provide safe cycling is not to slow the traffic down, but to separate cyclists and cars. I looked for stats. Death rates in NYC and London are similar, but I couldn't find much comparable data on the number of cyclists or usage. > They also block wind meaning we don't get driving rain along straight avenues. That's a fair point, but presumably having well-designed streets still allows for this, e.g. by staggering roads? I agree that electric vehicles will greatly reduce pollution, you'll still be walking through dense standing traffic in many areas.
