I don't really live near any cycling infrastructure. One path is 8 miles away and the other is 5 miles away. The first one is the busiest bike path in the country; I didn't even ride it until last year. It is impossible, except mid-week, midday. It does go places I might want to shop or go out to eat, though. The other one is brand new. It goes along a good part of the route I drive to my internship. It is supposed to go through my town, but I have doubts it will ever get here. A lot of dissent about this, even though there are thousands of cyclists. The main gripe is that it will ruin a currently dirt trail that runs a long a pond by being paved. The abutting homeowners think cyclists (and joggers) will pee in their yards
. The people complaining want the path to be crushed stone in Concord, but that would eliminate use by people with strollers, wheelchairs, etc.
The only cycling infrastructure I would like has to do with workplace stuff. I ride mostly on semi-rural country roads or suburban roads. There are tons of cyclists around here and drivers are mostly used to us. I don't need a bike lane. You can take your bike on the commuter rail that leaves from Concord during non-peak hours. We don't have bus service.
