I want to emphasize more on better infrastructure. A few kilometers of bike lanes in the city with no clever links and poorly planned are not very useful for promoting bike use.
I couldn't agree with you more on this! The provision of bike lanes in major cities still becomes useless if it doesn't ease traffic congestion and provide bikers the convenience and efficiency of travel to their desired destinations. It takes the cooperation of everyone to enjoy this beneficial urban facility.
It is what really happen in my locality. They are putting bike lanes without thinking the adverse effect to traffic, especially those two lane roads.
I agree that it is with mutual actions that we can enjoy it.
