I definietly think that the infrastructure should protect and make everyone feel comfortable riding. That could be a young, fit, not-so daring male or a woman or even children riding to school. There were some good ideas & considerations on how to do this. I'd love to see more of these ideas adopted. Here in Indianapolis we've been fortunate to get about a billion miles of bike lanes, but traveling w/ cars going 45-55 mph on some of our one way streets scares my wife & definitely keeps me from allowing my kids from riding on their own. We're better off now, but there's much further to go. Best, Eric Indpls On Thursday, October 24, 2013 7:10:49 AM UTC-4, Cecily Walker wrote:
