This actually isn’t surprising at all, but it still needs to said over & over — the biggest barrier to more urban biking in cities is the fear of cars.
“A study confirms that if we are serious about getting people on bikes, they need a safe place to ride.”

@BrentToderian @lloydalter That's certainly true here where I am in West Virginia. This town was founded in the 1700s. Streets are narrow for horses and now one way. There's no room for a bicycle anywhere.
It's a shame because bicycles could zoom around town easily. Instead, cars are gridlocked single file on narrow streets.
But this is West Virginia, so it will never change.
