But, we haven't built bike infrastructure with just men in mind, so that's a moot point. We have limited resources as it is. I think the steps we've made benefit men and women. Building higher-quality and safer cycle tracks, is substantially more expensive than what we have now and it'll take time for those projects to be politically and fiscally feasible.

And infrastructure is just one component of what W alluded to earlier. Basically, we need to do a better job selling the importance, need and benefits of bike infrastructure to John/Jane Q. Public. I agree with this, but I think it's just wrong to say that we've been catering to enthusiasts. If that were the case, we probably wouldn't have what we have because the political support wouldn't be there. I don't see what is so hardcore about CaBi.

There's a lot we need to do in the city, but even more in the suburbs, obviously.
