I am so thankful to be living in a bike friendly city! We have an online bike mapping program (bycycle.org) and a very vocal bike lobby. When the mayor threatened to reduce funding for bicycles earlier this year, there were protests and a lot of press. He changed his mind a few days later.

I would hate to take the time to give my opinion just to be told that the roads won't change. Hopefully your ideas will percolate for them a bit and they will act on some of your suggestions. Have any of them every ridden a bicycle in your town? Perhaps you could organize a group ride!
