Mahesh Butani argues that incorporating a bike network is "a design challenge more than a budgetary problem as it is being made out to be"

I really like this approach. It's important to see a things like two-way streets and bike lanes not as some sort of total redesign, but lines painted on a road. Build new infrastructure where it's needed, but laying out a basic, usable network of paths is a lot more important than giving one or two attractive flower arrangements. Wanna know what's clogging up car access to the Farmer's Market? Because it's not feisty anti-car activists, it's plain old road work.

"Today, the notion of progress in a single line without goal or limit seems perhaps the most parochial notion of a very parochial century." — Lewis Mumford
