Here is an article by John Pucher regarding what is it takes to propel your community into a biking friendly community....

Quote from the article:
The key policies and innovations used in Dutch, Danish, and German cities to promote safe and convenient cycling focus on:
- Extensive networks of separated cycling facilities
- Intersection modifications and priority traffic signals
- Traffic calming
- Traffic education and training
- Bike parking
- Co-ordination with public transport
- Traffic laws

I would like to research these bulletpoints more extensively. If you have any suggestions as where to start (other than Google), please let me know at vote4democracy@yahoo.com .....and, thanks!!!
