I linked to a few Spacing Votes posts last week, and thought I'd also point to a great little post on their Wire about how more cycling facilities produce more cyclists:

"...when it was first proposed to remove a lane of traffic from the Bloor St. Viaduct and replace it with bike lanes, he was sceptical because there was so little bike traffic. But once the lanes were put in, the bike traffic increased exponentially."

In city after city after city (London, Copenhagen, San Francisco... all "world class" cities), more cycling facilities have resulted in more cyclists, cleaner air, and people-friendly streets.

I know it's getting colder out there, but dress warm and ride as much as you can. More cyclists on the roads encourage others to get out there too!
