Problem
Without continuous, safe routes, the bicycle stays a marginal and risky way to get around in traffic built for cars. And without places to leave it worry-free, most people fall back on driving anyway.
Solution
Weave a connected web of safe bike paths across the town, and place plenty of racks to lock bicycles wherever people might stop, so cycling becomes a genuine and easy alternative to driving.
