It's not difficult to create an environment that's safe and comfortable for everyone to ride bikes. What I mean is that we have the engineering tools necessary.

Ironically, you *will* need to persuade professional planners and engineers that people-friendly streets are a good idea.

Bottom line: make your bike routes comfortable.

If it's at all uncomfortable (think speeding cars and hills), then people won't ride. But if people feel safe, watch the streets fill up with bicycles.
