»In which we bike for life (and bus)

Bogota's bus system has been a planning and implementation marvel for a long time, but one aspect that recently impressed me upon reading about it: the integration of bicycles into the system.

"For every 25 people who ride bikes to the terminal," Gil said, "That is one less 'feeder bus' we need to run through the neighborhoods. You do the math and pretty quickly you see it makes financial sense to set aside some space and hire a security guard to help people to ride their bikes."

That's Gil Penalosa of Walk and Bike for Life.
