Friend of the Clog/CP contributor Jesse Delaney sends this photo from Santiago, Chile:

"Philadelphia should have these."
Which leads us to wonder why even countries in the so-called developing world can have civilized cycling infrastructures while here in Philadelphia, BIRTHPLACE OF FREEDOM, every small gain by cyclists is met by some heavy-handed, ham-fisted, draconian/Stalinist attempt to curtail cycling.

One Response to “CP Abroad: Better biking in Chile”

Would love to see a red bicycle icon for the redlights here. Would that actually begin to change behaviors, such as the sorry-but-it’s-illegal rolling stop?
