I just saw this article about cities in Portugal where they have started writing poetry on the bike paths. What a great idea to make biking more of a cultural experience as well. http://thegreenertruth.com/2010/02/making-biking-to-work-more-cultural/ Biking to work is not only a great way to get exercise, but it also is a fantastic green alternative to being stuck in traffic on the way home.

This looks like a very thoughtful approach to connecting existing bike lanes with new ones, so that one can pedal around that neighborhood in relative safety.

I think more people would choose "greener" transportation if safer options were given. As it stands, I am too nervous about traffic issues to fully commit to a biking commute. I wish Mr. Epstein, Ms. Hazelhoff, and all those who work for a safer, greener commute the best of luck. It’s about time that someone addressed this problem.
