notequal has left a new comment on your post "Bicycling and wealth":
El Paso is my home town (I live 50 miles away in Las Cruces) and it has a strong car culture. They added bike lanes near my old house and the residents went into a frenzy about how they were wasting space and needed to be removed. Maybe they were right. Nobody seems to use them.
It is unfortunate, but, from my biased point of view, this part of the country thinks that cars are the only way to get around and the cities were designed as such. When I do commute on my bike, I don't feel very safe.
