Very select cities are pretty good for biking. Boulder CO, for instance is pretty great b/c most people there bike. But yeah for a lot of places it's a nightmare.
Also our metro areas tend to spread out quite a bit, so to get from one area to another typically involves biking >5 miles.
- hathawsh 8y agoI'd also like to congratulate Utah for recently completing over 100 miles of commuter-friendly bike trails that connect nearly all of the most populous cities. https://www.heraldextra.com/news/local/golden-spoke-trail-network-connects-ogden-and-provo-opens-saturday/article_fe9750c4-a94b-5714-87bc-82381d8ed7c0.html https://www.heraldextra.com/news/local/golden-spoke-trail-ne... http://wfrc.org/programs/active-transportation/golden-spoke/ http://wfrc.org/programs/active-transportation/golden-spoke/

- tenaciousDaniel 8y agoAh, I haven't lived there since 2014. Couldn't tell you.
- JustMatthew 8y agoPortland, Oregon is another great example. It has the best biking infra I've seen in the US mixed with a driving culture that, for the most part, actually affords priority consideration to pedestrians and bikers. While not perfect, a lot of best practices can and probably should be derived from what Portland has done to improve bike infra.
