Aug. 31, 2026Excerpt: "As it is, many American communities, regardless of politics, have embraced #BikeFriendly policies, on the grounds that bikes are good for the planet, for the body, and address congestion by taking cars off the road.
"Often inspired by bike-friendly European cities like Copenhagen and Amsterdam, the moves are a major shift in the way American communities approach transportation planning.
"There are now 4,400 directional miles of protected bike lanes today, up from 108 directional miles in 2000, according to #PeopleForBikes , an industry trade association and advocacy group. (Directional miles are miles that can be traveled in one direction; with a two-way bike lane one mile long counting as two directional miles.)
"The group notes that more than 25,000 miles of #RailBeds have been converted to bike-friendly trails, double what it was two decades ago.
"But the Trump administration is trying to put the brakes on the trend.
In #NashvilleTN, the future of an ambitious series of bike lanes, called the #EastNashvilleSpokes project, is up in the air after the Trump administration froze a $9.3 million grant, prompting a court battle that remains unresolved."

#Underpasses for #bikePaths are a great design: separation from cars (safety, travel time) and ergonomics: gravity speeds you up on the way down, and then speed helps you on the way up.
Also, compared to an overpass: you don't need to go down as much (3m?) as you would need to go up (6m?).
