This one surprises me. Austin has built more bike infrastructure there than anywhere else. Maybe they should have used the money to build roads or transit? Its also not mind-boggling huge or having physical constraints to overcome like all of the other cities. There is only one major river, and even that is nothing like the Mississippi or the Delaware.

I-35 is pretty much the only major artery into downtown Austin from the northern suburbs. The other freeways around the metro do a poor job of distributing traffic.
