What needs more study is the extent of this feedback loop. That's the premise behind the Bicycle Parking Program in Chicago (it's funded by Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality grants).

Bike facilities beget riders - hard to have one without the other. Increased facilities increase the number of riders, which reduces the number of drivers, which creates calmer,quieter, and safer streets and neighborhoods. But I think I'm preaching to the choir :) I'd have to agree with the other commenter. Bike facilities beget riders – hard to have one without the other.

So perhaps more bike parking = more bike visibility = good for biking?<br><br>* Neat book, by the way.
