@cainmark asks:
Q6. Anyone else have trouble navigating from city to country (urban to rural) & the reverse? On the road, w/ no paths available, when the shoulders disappear.
My closest calls have all been on the "outskirts" of a city, just past suburbs, before fully becoming country.
Anyone have ideas on how to traffic engineer that to stop being a problem? Speed limits don't help when people constantly speed over them.
@ascentale @cainmark @bikenite A6: Big initiative passed last year in the legislature is establishing inter-city bike highways, so that's our solution in progress up in Washington State. It'll be a minute before it's realised, but, you know.

Come to think of it, this was what the cycling network was like in the Netherlands, when I visited. Seamless transitions between towns.

It took a crisis and a lot of political will to change things in the Netherlands! There are also big differences in population densities and distributions there vs. my country (USA, sigh). I appreciate having a vision for what's possible.
@theantlady @moira @ascentale @cainmark @bikenite The Netherlands in the early 1970s were car-centric just like other European countries or the USA. I still adore the brave citizens those days and how politicians listened to the people and were willing to try change.
This is one of the many documentations with pictures how it started showing also changes that happened not long ago. They might encourage us today:
