Check out a report by the League of American Bicyclists: Where We Ride - Analysis of Bicycling in American Cities. See how El Paso is ranked. A fast way to get to the data about El Paso is hit Ctrl-F. Type in "El Paso". We are among the top 70 largest cities and ranked... well...ranked at number 69. Hmmm...
Thanks to Charlie Wakeem for sending me the link to this report.

69th is darn good considering how bike unfriendly our DE is - "Car is King" B has made it clear he is against spending any money on bike infrastructure, and that he is against projects like the Bike share because we don't have the infrastructure... See the problem?
ReplyDeleteAlso, there is no bike friendly route from central El Paso to the west side. There are those who do ride that route, but I know many more who think Mesa is just too dangerous (and I agree).
Until we get a real Bike Mater Plan, until we get a bike friendly DE at TxDot, until we have safe and accessible bike routes to ALL parts of town...
