I think this is such a critical point. A lot of people are not interested in getting on a busy road, but would definitely get on a bike only path.
I will also add that I think cities should be creative and try to develop more bike infrastructure that is independent of the roadways altogether. The lakefront trail in Chicago is a good example. Many cities could develop similar infrastructure along rivers, through parks, through repurposed streets, etc. having a separate network is not only safer but if done right can often be faster for commuters than driving or public transport.
- tonyedgecombe 6y agoWe have quite a lot of that in the UK already, the trouble is it isn’t often where people make their daily journeys.
- danielecook 6y agoI would not classify it as “a lot” even in the wrong places. And, even when paths do exist they are far from adequate.
