Cycling around Paris 15 years ago was basically only acceptable if you had a deathwish. It’s awesome that they made such huge improvements!
Almost as if it’s possible to improve even the largest cities’ infrastructure to be more human friendly. Almost as if there’s no reason bad urban design should remain bad forever. Huh, who knew…
A lot cheaper than building nearly any other infrastructure.
I haven’t run the numbers but I’d venture a guess that it’s even cheaper than maintaining the car bearing roads.
I’m always blown away at how people will not think twice when billions are spent on adding an extra lane to a road, but lose their minds when a couple million are spent on a bike lane.
I’d love to see a return on investment analysis done on something like this.
