About time. In the US, we seriously need more emphasis on bikes and encouraging people to use them for shorter commutes. We either have to drive or walk (mostly). I once met a european lady (from Amsterdam I think) who would not stop talking about how behind the US in terms of bike culture, hardly any bike lanes on roads etc.

Hear hear! Things are changing for the better. Over the last 5 years, bike use has more than tripled in a lot of major cities. Bike sharing has the power to completely transform culture - Boston went from being rated the worst city for biking in the US to one of the top 5 after Hubway's launch.
