For the last couple of days, the most emailed story in the New York Times website has been a story about bikes in Portland,
In Portland, Cultivating a Culture of Two Wheels

Unfortunately, the bike lanes in Portland make no sense whatever to me as a non-bike-rider and there have been an alarmingly high number of
bicycle vs. vehicle accidents. Many fatal. Our world seems to have no really good fit for bikes, which is one reason I have not been terribly motivated to overcome 50 years worth of no sense of balance to become one.
