Change in infrastructure needed to encourage bikership (bikershare)

Savings from oil and coal importation

From Clean Technica by Zachary Shahan | May 24, 2013

There must be a change in infrastructure  in order to encourage ridership and use of bikes.  This was the topic for master thesis of the author .  The author favors off road bike paths, that do not intersect roads to which many bikers object;  (many messengers?)

Now it is becoming clearer that the position of the author is correct.

May I make my own observation in the PHL or MM:

l.  The air pollution levels must be lowered;  otherwise we just kill the bikers;

2. There must be bike lanes;

3.  There must be continuous education of drivers on rights of bikers

The current bike lanes suck:

The ones in a MM city has plenty of safety hazards:   sticking rebars, posts at the bike path, uneven surfaces and located along parked vehicles and the cars doors unexpectedly open causing hazards.

There are many road hazards as well:   steel grating that can catch the wheels and cause crashes falls accidents and injuries
