yeah the lack of infrastructure I think is the thing that discourages people. In reality it doesn't matter, but its hard to convince a bike noob that its cool to ride on a 3-lane highway with no shoulder.

urban and urban sprawl are where bike travel really shows its advantages. I match car speed just about anywhere in the New Orleans or Los Angeles sprawls for rides sub-30 miles. Immunity to traffic is amazing.
Boston and NYC are far worse than LA has ever dreamed of being when it comes to traffic, both vehicle and foot traffic. It's almost impossible to be able to bike around here 100% of the time.

this is an exaggeration ime but i have never lived in NYC for an appreciable amount of time. I found my bike infinitely more convenient than trying to jam a giant tin box through those cramped streets when I entered NYC by bike and hung out there a few weeks. But I've never tried to ride in a New York winter or anything, so I won't call you a retard.

I've found the same in Tokyo, Buffalo and a number of other urban areas with no bike infrastructure. I've been in pretty much every major US city on a bike. Always better than public transportation, always better than driving, and always fun.

The only real exceptions I've found are Texas and the South, where the people are of such low quality it's uncomfortable to be so much smaller than they are on the road.

it's actually incredible just how attractive the average girl is in europe when compared to the states, and sadly, even canada. reason? so few obese ppl.

take away all that fat and all of a sudden ur population is a happier, more attractive one that engages in wholesome sexual acts more often. i saw this on nova i believe
