[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]There are very tiny number of cyclists in the city of Alex. [/b]

BUT the City is extremely limo liberal and they love to embrace anything that aligns them with liberal ideas and want to make sure they are putting on a good show.  They love any kind of environmental activism and causes and do lots of window dressing activities like send out declarations and such but there is very little substance.  These actions are easy so they embrace them to avoid the real and tough issues like neglected infrastructure, school issues and so on.

The more safe and useful bike routes there are in Alexandria, the more people will ride bikes in Alexandria.[/quote]

Wrong. [/quote]

What do you mean, "wrong"?[/quote]

DP.  Just a guess, but to date, the road diets have not produced more bike riders.  Or if they have, it's minimal.  [b]Plus it is hard to tell because the bike groups get tipped off by the city when they plan to do the counts of traffic on the bike lanes.[/b] [/quote]

Well, there's a conspiracy theory.

Half a mile here, and half a mile there, are not going to make a meaningful difference. What will? A network. People use routes to go places, whether they're walking, biking, or driving.[/quote]

Well they are doing a piss poor job with that network.

And it isn’t a conspiracy theory. TES attends BPAC meetings and provides project and data collection updates. [/quote]
