Berkeley, CA sports some of the best bicycling amenities anywhere in the U.S. They are called Bicycle Boulevards - and are essentially bicycle priority streets - where thru traffic is diverted from the neighborhood and traffic calming is plenty.Directed by: Clarence Eckerson Jr.trorb(at)earthlink.netwww.s reetfilms.orgwww.nyscr.org

Cool, I like the idea.

actually, on bicycle boulevards people are allowed to bike in the center of the street. (actually, cyclists can legally do that on any road because they follow all traffic laws, and that could help). Also, I think that bicycle boulevards are wider than most roads.

motorists still don't notice the signs. It is ridiculously dangerous here, but I love bicycle boulevards

In many countries, kids learn to signal, stop at stop lights, and common bicycling etiquette by watching other bicyclists do it.Now in America, bicycling has been replaced by cars. Kids grow up, not learning how to signal, stop at stop signs/lights, and common etiquette when bicycling.I know, yielding at stop signs is easier than stopping.Except, it just promotes a bad image that bicyclists do not follow the rules. It is just 5 seconds to stop, you can trackstand if you want to.

I noticed the bikes on the purple signs, but never really thought why they were on them. Time to take advantage of these streets!

Nice... I recently moved to Berkeley. I lived in Philadelphia for a while and had some difficult times riding... I was hit by a car once when I was in a lane (the car made an illegal left turn). I feel very safe riding in Berkeley.
