In the referenced article points out some of the difficulty we face getting recognition as a significant transportation option. Currently the situation is like asking Drivers what is their primary weather condition when they drive? Fair, rainy or snowy. Since fair weather is the primary weather we drive in so therefore we do not need to plow roads or proved storm drains. Just think of all the money we could save by not supporting minor weather conditions. Absurd, right? Then the same should apply to cycling as well. Fair weather cycling should count for consideration in transportation planning just as foul weather planning exists in motorized planning.
