In Pasadena, we just spent a ton of money trying out the Metro bike-sharing program [1]. Unfortunately, it turns out the key to making a biking culture is not just putting down a ton of rentable bikes. [2] I'd love to see safer bike hi

Anecdata: personally, procrastination and self-hatred go hand-in-hand. While the BBC isn't the most authoritative source, this reminds me of this post from recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17878716 "
