I wish all cities would make it a major priority to have bike lanes at least in the major traffic areas. I live about 10-15 minutes from work if I drive. I would love the option to start cycling to work even though it would mean leaving even earlier than I already do. But my route is one of the biggest and worst 45 mph drags in my town. The super trained cyclists in their racing kit are insane for riding on it just because it's so fast and so busy. A more casual commuter like me would be murdered in an instant. If there were sidewalks (another bane of this town) I'd ride on those even though you're not supposed to. Which I don't understand either.
