Some simple changes to bike lanes and street/lane design in NYC is drastically reducing cycling deaths. It took the city less than a decade to make a big difference.

A lot of change is actually well within reach even in sparsely populated suburbs.

What’s really happening is that cars are subsidized and encouraged. Make people pay the real costs of driving and parking and replacing bad zoning rules and development practices and you’ll see steady progress.
