How 70s calling this stuff alternatives. This is going viral and mainstream. This is sensible human mobility the way it will be and better to transport civilization well into the future. It is great to see Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood as a real advocate. We can't move too fast on this. The planet won’t wait! Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood:

The pace of improvements to bike infrastructure is beyond slow. Actually, there is close to no bike infrastructure in the city, excluding fading paint.
