Pedal. To the NY Times, this is
a solution to congestion
on the Brooklyn Bridge.

A lot of bikes in the news this week — and plenty of other transportation news as well.
– A smart and inspiring New York Times op-ed calls attention to the “war” created by forcing people to bike and walk together on the relatively narrow Brooklyn Bridge walkway, and calls for a separated bike path on the car deck.
– An op-ed in the London Times this week calls for the British government to make cycling “dull” and criticizes the much-touted new “cycling superhighways” for not being particularly good for cycling on.
– Streetsblog has the best analysis I’ve seen yet of who pays what for roads, positing that the almost complete lack of direct cost for using the highway system is what causes freeway congestion and low ridership on facilities (like transit) that are less subsidized and must charge fees.
