Why not ride all the way? Don't you agree those roads out there need
taming?

Priority number one of the revolution is to implement speed cameras
while creating an autobahn. Yes, there should be space for all without
the risk associated with speeding through communities and roads
without proper shoulders. In the boondocks where I was people had to
share the road with cars going between 35 and 55mph. No wonder people
is reluctant to walk or ride a bike.

The problem is you need a car wherever you go.
