Key Questions How Many of us walked to school as kids? How do you get across campus? Who knows somebody hit by a car? Who lives in a place where you have to walk more
than 10 minutes to get something to eat? Who drives an SUV to the gym? Do you take the elevator to use the stair master? What is the fastest growing sport in the US? Is walking or biking socially acceptable?

Shanghai ends reign of the bicycleBy Tim Luard BBC News Online
Succumbing at last to the worldwide love affair with the car, China - of all places - is officially turning up its nose at the humble bicycle. Its biggest city, Shanghai, plans to ban bikes from all major roads next year to ease congestion, state-run newspapers said on Tuesday.

Jeff Olson, R.A. 42
The Highways v. Transit Problem What facility does a bus drive on?
Is a person who walks to the transit stop a pedestrian or a transit rider?
How should we fund on-street bike lanes that lead to a transit station that has buses with bike racks?
If we’re spending Highway funding on bike/ped facilities, why aren’t we part of the “highway lobby?”
