The highs and lows of Orange County bicycle infrastructure

We desperately need better, safer bicycle infrastructure in Orange County. Bike lanes are often treated as an afterthought - cities will put them in only if they have to; cities leave them in horrible, unusable disrepair; car drivers park in them and don't understand why it's not safe. Cities like Santa Ana and Irvine are leading the way, with curb-protected bikeways and separated bike paths - but we still have a long, long road path ahead of us.

The onus now falls on municipalities to correct the errors of decades of federal car-centric road standards. Get involved with your city councils and voice support for better, safer bicycle infrastructure!
