[*BCM*] riding

[Lee Peters]

"The US government has also done its part to promote a more bicycle-friendly 
environment. Some 3.5 million dollars in federal money has been set aside to 
create cycling trails over the next four years."

Calling this government action "doing its part" is commentary.  And you are 
right to say this is a 'little'.

So, it surprises me that the European model of bike lane delineation is not 
the ideal according to members of the list.  Having ridden there, I never 
felt safer on a bike.  Yet, some claim there are more accidents in a place 
like Amsterdam.  The lanes there are nothing like the death traps of the 
Southwest Corridor, or Central Square Cambridge.
