Scoble has pointed out the flaws in the Danish model.
Italy has got to be one of the best places I have cycled in, and yes it is the consideration given to cyclists that makes the difference. This could be achieved here with better legal enforcement and information campaigns. Infrastructure changes are just not going to happen, the lack of available space probably being the main problem, and then the cost implications. I do not oppose good infrastructure, but generally what is built is poorly conceived, frequently inherently dangerous and of negligible benefit. Demanding door to door infrastructure just seems a waste of time. Education and enforcement will make things safer and encourage more people to ride.
