Just had to add my two cents. I visited a cousin in Berlin last year, and many/most major streets had bike paths. In some cases, there were separate traffic signals for bikes to enable the bike to start into the intersection before the cars. Also, in many cases, the bike path was on the (very wide) sidewalk and was painted red. It was easier and safer to get around Berlin by bike than the average Massachusetts suburb outside of 128 (for example). My cousin attributed the quality and quantity of the bike paths to the political activity of the Greens. -- Jim Lacey my own opinions email: att!cbnewsl!jlacey or jlacey@cbnewsl.cb.att.com
