I love how an important question from the article is posed but never answered: "So how do you get the bike from there to wherever you want to go without riding on the street?"

My street in Chicago has been converted over to being one way with a bike lane in one direction and arrows in another direction on the main drive. I rode a Divvy bike home and was in the main road. One of the scariest experiences I've had in a long time. The cars didn't give a damn. They just kept riding me. What makes it even better is that parking takes up about 45% of the street.
