believe it or not...that sounds a lot like Portland...the #1 city for cyclists in the U.S. Growth here has been obscene, our infrastructure is crumbly, we're overrun with cars and we've had at least 3 fatalities this year alone...and charges are yet to be filed. BUT

we also have a large, vocal active cycling community that refuses to give up the road as well as an equally active "green" community that has seen to the building and maintaining of many miles of bicycle trails with and without cars, peds, etc.

upshot being that if the foundation is there...Lance's support and an active community could turn things around.

Bikeportland.org is a great source of news for how the community here activates....
