What Would it be Like for Bicyclists... in 'Opposite World?'

• People would be surprised if you drove your car to work.
• The average speed of vehicles on the road would be 10-12mph.
• The League of American Car Drivers would lobby every year for more car lanes and car specific infrastructure.
• The annual death toll of cyclists would probably be zero.
• There would always be a secure place to park your bike.
• Talk about gear ratios would just be simple chit chat.
• Not only could we ride two abreast, but we could ride three or even four abreast.
• Everyone would have a true sense of how far one mile really is.
• Instead of smelling gas fumes on our morning commute, we would be smelling fresh air, the flowers, bread baking, each others cologne or perfume....
• We would never be run off the road or relegated to riding in the gutter.
• People would wonder if it was legal to drive a car in the road.
• Some would drive their cars on the sidewalk for fear of being in the road with bikes.
• Instead of hearing blaring horns and cussing, we would just hear the delightful dings of bicycle bells and gracious 'hellos' as we pass each other.
