Some commute to work or school by bicycle. For others, bicycling and walking are the only means of transportation available. Yet our cities are planned and built to accommodate cars, not people. Homes, schools, stores, and offices are separated.
Many roads have narrow lanes and carry high volumes of high-speed traffic.
Fortunately, many options for improving the bicycling environment are available to planners and engineers. A newly released study provides insight into this heated debate.
