Why do European cities have much better and more extensive bike path systems than US cities and it’s not even close?
Vienna, Copenhagen, Oslo, etc - all these places have awesome bike path systems where you can easily commute to work on a bike and not risk getting killed.
It seems like in the USA with the exception of a few small US cities you cannot ride a bike very far without having to watch out for getting hit by cars.
I wonder if when gas prices double some day in USA to 8 dollars per gallon if cities will have more incentive to create more extensive bike path systems including numerous bike underpasses?
