There's a battle storming in the streets of America.Anyone who regularly rides a bicycle knows all about this.Some motorists shout at two-wheeled travelers,who slow traffic.A few will do even worse.
The New York Times reports that incidents of aggression toward bicycle riders appear to be growing.Even though actually every state allows bicyclists the same rights as motorists to use the streets,many drivers still refuse to accept this.They view themselves as Kings of the Road-an impression that has been strongly built by the transportation planning profession,which has designed our cities as if people didn't exist outside of their cars.
But a big new idea to settle this conflict and improve life in the streets for everyone is now taking root among community activists,urban planners and traffic engineers.
"Too many of our streets are designed only for speeding cars.They are unsafe for people on foot or bike.Now,in communities across the country,a movement is growing to complete the streets.States,cities and towns are asking their planners,engineers and designers to build road networks that welcome all citizens," declares the website of a new organization promoting this idea,"Complete the Streets"，the best idea to hit our communities since pizza,or even the bicycle itself.
My home of Minneapolis is one of the biking capitals of America.But it hasn't always been that way.When I moved here many years ago,I was shocked at the strong hostility directed toward me whenever I dared ride my bike down the street.Drivers would suddenly turn in my direction,and then laugh as they nearly knocked me onto the ground.
As the amount of bikes on Minneapolis streets has grown,people have become much more comfortable sharing the road with two-wheelers.Indeed,I get the impression that most motorists now envy rather than hate me,and can't wait to get home where they can jump on their own bikes.This will happen everywhere as more and more Americans discover biking as a great way to get around,save money,lose weight,protect the planet and have fun.
