When the notion of adding walkable spaces and separated cycling lanes to NA cities comes up there's a reflexive brushing aside of the idea, that NA is "not europe" and that cycling simply can't work here.
It's really important to see that the cycling capitals in Europe didn't appear as such fully formed, but it was tough activism that created them from a rejection of the already established status quo of automobile oriented infrastructure.
Accordingly it's clear that it is of course quite possible for NA cities to follow the path of these European cities and create safe cycling and walking infrastructure too.
