    It's exciting to see how biking and public transportation infrastructure works in a city that actively embraces it, as opposed to my own city which seems to fight it tooth and nail. The idea of a bike garage is something I never even considered before. In the US - even here in NYC - it's cars, cars, cars.

      I find most exciting images of people running errands with cargo bikes, picking up their kids from school. Lots of inspiring infrastructure is posted here https://twitter.com/placesforbikes/.

          Human-scale, environmentally-friendly transit that encourages good health and stimulates the economy through easier on-street engagement and more available real estate? It's more a Shelbyville idea.
