Indianapolis is awesome (who knew?)

And it’s a steal at only 63 million dollars!

that’s like one fifth of a highway interchange!

I note from the video that I saw no bikes in the street with the exception of the bike lane shots. Furthermore, bikes on the trail seemed to average 5 mph. Granted, the terrain in Indianapolis can be quite challenging.:rolleyes:

I know – it’s awesome! And of course they had to slow down for the camera.

This just looks amazing. The mode separation (it’s not everywhere but there’s lots), the signage, the pavement markings, the raised crosswalks, the other protected bike lanes (e.g. at 4:30 in the video). Arlington has something to strive for!

Agreed that this is great, but as President of RUB, I feel obligated to point out:

– AAAHHH! Careful of the giant steel bollard at 1:57!!!
– And more at 5:05!! – not even centered on the trail.
– And is that a pole in the middle of the trail at 7:55? (Of course, nothing like the enormous streetlight poles at Lynn & Lee. We definitely have them beat on that count.)
