		<title>Are Google Map’s Bicycling Directions a Game Changer?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night Google made a “game changing” announcement at the national bike summit in Washington DC.&#160; The long awaited “Bike There” option has been added to their options for route types.&#160; The dropdown next to Google Maps “Get Directions” button now has “Bicycling” as the fourth option following “By car”, “By public transit” and”Walking”.

I walked to work today.
Big deal, you say? Maybe so. But it didn&#8217;t seem like such a big deal. It&#8217;s 4.2 miles and took me 80 minutes. While walking I called a couple of friends to chat and told them what <a href=http://streetsblog.net/2010/03/10/a-morning-walk/>[...]</a>]]></description>

The American way? Photo: Feel Hollywood

Will I eventually cave under the pressure like Lisa Simpson during her vegetarian spell <a href=http://streetsblog.net/2010/03/09/the-will-to-resist/>[...]</a>]]></description>

Imagine you’re standing at the corner of Governor Drive, waiting to cross Genesee Avenue. You’re waiting, and waiting, and waiting, as traffic rushes by at 45-50 miles an hour.

		<title>Boston’s Future Lies In Moving Away From The Car</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Boston doesn&#8217;t have to look like this. Photo by SpecialKRB via Flickr.
People will sometimes ask me, “Why do you hate cars so much?”  The truth is I don’t hate cars.  They are useful to some people (delivery trucks, people with disabilities).  The car itself is not the problem, it is what happens <a href=http://streetsblog.net/2010/03/02/boston%e2%80%99s-future-lies-in-moving-away-from-the-car/>[...]</a>]]></description>
