Saw this and I thought I would share with you all. It is good to see what other cycling advocacy groups are doing as it gives us hope and ideas here in Atlanta.

Cycling activists from the LA Bike Working Group in Los Angeles are trying to get the city on board with their Backbone Bikeway Network, a "freeway system for cyclists." It would create long-distance bike routes along many of the city's main existing arteries. The fact that this network is simple and runs along routes people are already familiar with would really help give aspiring cyclists the confidence that they could actually get across town on a bike.
