Great, smilingcat! Bicycles traffic has alot more in common with car traffic than pedestrian traffic. That's a hard concept for some folks to understand.

There's good information on bicycle transit and planning out there. Start with the League of American Bicyclists. Also, a planning and design firm on the east coast does alot of bike planning and has a good website with lots of good resources and links. I think the name of the firm is Toole Design, it's in Maryland.
