Progress in the right direction for sure!
Not as many as I'd like with a population of roughly 153 million Americans of working age (between 23 and 65), but it's definitely a move in the right direction. That's a half of one percent of Americans who cycle to work.
Imagine if we could get 1 or 2% of the working force to commute. WOW! That's why places like Denmark with double-digit percents of the population that commute is so incredible to me.
