Thanks for finding this website! As a bike commuter, I was blown away by some of the links on the videomaker's blog. Imagine separate bike paths and not our five foot wide strip that doubles as "found parking" for every delivery truck in Bellingham...imagine not having to stop for red lights because the path "senses" the presence of a bike and actually gives the automobiles a red light!
