I don't agree that it's impossible to have a "separate from cars bikeway network." When I say, "separate from cars" that can be as simple as a bike lane next to the car lane with a curb between the bikes and cars. This configuration is common in Southern California. Curb protected bike lanes could be done with minimal engineering.
Every bayou in this town should have a bike lane on the bank. There should be few right-of-way issues as the flood control district owns most of that land.
Houston should be like Amsterdam, a totally bicycle friendly community. We enjoy good riding weather year round, and it's flat- ideal conditions for getting
around by bicycle. There is no good reason to not have more dedicated bike paths. The powers that be just need to be shown that there is a constituency
for cycling projects.
