I lived on Milvia and Parker a while back and counted over 50 bicyclists in one-minute from my porch. Pretty amazing stuff. Its too bad most other cities dont catch on.

Cool, I like the idea.

actually, on bicycle boulevards people are allowed to bike in the center of the street. (actually, cyclists can legally do that on any road because they follow all traffic laws, and that could help). Also, I think that bicycle boulevards are wider than most roads.

motorists still don't notice the signs. It is ridiculously dangerous here, but I love bicycle boulevards

In many countries, kids learn to signal, stop at stop lights, and common bicycling etiquette by watching other bicyclists do it.Now in America, bicycling has been replaced by cars. Kids grow up, not learning how to signal, stop at stop signs/lights, and common etiquette when bicycling.I know, yielding at stop signs is easier than stopping.Except, it just promotes a bad image that bicyclists do not follow the rules. It is just 5 seconds to stop, you can trackstand if you want to.

I noticed the bikes on the purple signs, but never really thought why they were on them. Time to take advantage of these streets!
