The American Society of Landscape Architects is a bike-friendly office. Several employees bike to work, including LAM’s editor, and since we’re located in downtown Washington, D.C., that means navigating city streets. Doing so is made easier when there are clearly marked bike lanes to give cyclists a little breathing room from stressed-out car commuters. The blogger Kaid Benfield calls attention to the next generation of bike lanes called cycle tracks—they physically separate the bike lane from the car lanes, and the source he cites claims that can increase usage from an average of 5 to 7 percent for typical, painted but not separated lanes to 18 to 20 percent, a significant jump if it’s truly the case.
