We still don't have much infrastructure in Waterloo Region, although we're working on it. Last night in Zurich I had 4 bicycles in my field of vision, at a place with a fairly steep slope too. You don't need that many bicycles to move people faster than in cars, especially considering that the total door-to-door time on a bicycle vs a car is not that different for many reasonable routes in the region.
I don't think we're talking about slowing the grid down to ridiculous speeds, in any case. We're talking about residential streets like those that kids play street hockey on. We're not talking about Weber or Fischer-Hallman!
