Cycling Detroit as Primary Means of Transportation
This summer I've noticed more cyclists on the streets of Detroit. I'm not sure if this reflects an increase in the number of people riding bikes for transportation, or if I am paying better attention. Can anyone back this up? How many people out there use a bicycle as their primary means of transportation?
I've been living in the city for two years without a car and find it to be a surprisingly bike friendly place. Traffic density is pretty low on most roads [[except for about an hour during the post-work evening exodus of suburbanites) and there is plenty of space for bikes. The winter can be a challenge, but it's not too bad when the roads are cleared.
Please share your cycling experiences.
