The one thing I notice in a of the debates is the lack of studies of the use of the bicycle trails. Without knowing how many use them to go shopping, what they buy, the hours, days, months, of the traffic on the trails. It strike me that its 20’s to 30’ persons and mainly on the weekends and again for joy riding. A set of studies should be done in the state of California using count cameras along with humans counts. In Marin County on the Richman/San Rafael bridge they want to put a bicycle lane at the cost of $70,000,000 dollars and without the know age of who many people will use it at one time.

On getting around without a car

This my thought on moving past the 20-30 year old with there Tour de France bicycles and look to what lies ahead.

When looking at what changes need to be made over the next couple of generations to add larger sidewalks and bicycling paths, its should be look at this perspectives is person X. Person X will be the need to have a market, and or a pharmacy with in three or more rings, that would be round trip, Ring 1, a mile, Ring 2, 11/2 miles and Ring 3, three miles. Using as a guide, you can figure out in a given location how many person for one reason or others will walk, bicycle, or use an electric scooter for transportation to said location.
