Many adults don’t ride bikes because they simply don’t feel safe maneuvering among automobiles. Cycle tracks are designed to relieve road anxieties by providing a wide bike path that’s buffered from cars and pedestrians. One Danish study found that cycle tracks increase bicycle ridership by 20 percent (compared to seven percent for bike lanes). Vancouver, British Columbia recently opened a two-way cycle track in its downtown district; more than 150 cyclists showed up for the ribbon cutting, including Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson.
