>Can Bikes Help Cities Function Better and More Sustainably?
>
>
>In the past decade, bicycling has grown
>enormously in popularity as a green and active
>transportation alternative in many cities and
>metropolitan areas. Cities worldwide have
>developed strategies like dedicated cycling
>infrastructure, cycle-only days, car-free
>streets, cycle superhighways, and more, and
>cities in the U.S. have been experimenting with
>some of these practice more recently. However,
>in an era of lean budgets for so many regions
>and with resistantance to change a constant
>challenge, how can sustainable transportation
>maintain this momentum?
