What is the best recent bike-friendly measure that happened in your city?
In my city, some bike lanes were replaced by bike streets, which go along a river, for example, or a commuter train line. These are made in a way that it is easy to cross car streets, but cars can’t pass through them. There is now a lot of bike traffic, and the bike streets and cycleways are starting to form a protected bike network.
You know that apparent law of the universe, which is that when you solve one big ugly problem, you get one or two nicer problems as a reward? Our city has now dense bike traffic at times, and sometimes almost bike traffic jams…
Planned road works on the main road so no cars are parked in the bike lane anymore, just a line of cones instead. Takes up less space than the cars did.
I am hoping the road surface continues to degrade so that cars are no longer able to drive at dangerous speeds. My hybrid bike sees more mud than any SUV I have ever seen.

What city is this? It sounds wonderful.
