	RiskFactors (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.netlab.uky.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Bicycle paths are physically separated rights of way for the exclusive use of bicycles and pedestrians.) The paths are signed “Bicycles May Use Sidewalk,” and their use is optional.
		Bicycling on the roadway in the same direction as adjacent traffic, whether or not bicycle lanes are designated, is not associated with increased accident risk for any group.
		Sidewalk bicycling adjacent to busy streets with many intersections presents special dangers, and should not be encouraged through the construction or designation of bicycle paths parallel to the street.

		In the USA, a Designated bicycle lane (1998 MUTCD) or Class 2 bikeway (Caltrans) is a portion of a roadway or shoulder which is separated from traffic lanes by the use of a solid white stripe on the pavement and has been designated for preferential use by bicyclists.
		A Bicycle Boulevard is another on-road bicycle facility gaining momentum in the United States with use in Berkeley, Palo Alto, Napa, and many other cities in California.

		Traveling by bicycle, the rider becomes a part of the environment rather than isolated from it, getting to know different neighborhoods in the city and finding attractions that could be missed in an automobile, bus or subway.

	Designing bends in bicycle paths - Echos du Vélo
		When designing bicycle facilities for a given design speed, it is important to know, which curve radius is applicable for this design speed and which speed is possible in a curve with a given radius.
		The path of the front wheel of each bicycle while moving around the bend had to be tracked manually, the software calculated the surface co-ordinates and the speed of the cyclists.
		The additional width needed by cyclists in bends due to swept path and slant is important for the design of bicycle facilities.

	Bicycle Advocacy: Advocacy Links
		For six years, California's cities and counties have been legally allowed to build Class One Bikeways, bicycle paths, just as dangerous as they choose, with complete immunity from liability for deaths and injuries caused by the dangers that they have chosen to build into their bike paths.
		The California courts have concluded that the safety design standards for California's Class One Bikeways, commonly called bike paths, are not valid because, in terms of law as they interpret it, bicycle paths are the legal equivalent of dirt trails through unimproved property.
		To control the effect of bicycle traffic on motor traffic, the California Legislature authorized two things: first, a set of design standards for bikeways for cyclists to use; second, a committee of government highway agencies to recommend changes to traffic law to prohibit cyclists from using the roadways where bikeways existed.

	Bicycle Transportation Institute
		We believe that the best way to increase bicycle use is to create a climate where bicyclists are considered by all to be legitimate users of any road and where bicycling is considered to be an activity with benefits far in excess of its risks.
		In fact, bicyclists are lawful road users and bicycling does have greater benefits than risks, at least for those who follow the rules for drivers of vehicles.
		Because the maximum safe travel speed on paths is so much lower than on roads, paths are a poor choice for fitness cycling as well.
