I was under the impression that roundabouts were unsafe for bicyclists. Was I misinformed?

recreational trails are paved in Michigan is so they can be easily cleared of snow in the winter so bikers, walkers, runners, rollerbladers can use them year-round.

IMHO limiting it to natural surface may be a bit too restrictive, many of the multi-use trails in Michigan are paved but they are purely recreational in nature. This one for example: www.michigan.gov/recsearch/pa...
which connects with other paved recreational trails.

Are you making a distinction between urban commuter bikeways and rural/suburban recreational trails? Like Rails to Trails?

Americans love speed, and what I fear happening is that our serene bike/pedestrian trails will be taken over by e-motorcycles with pedals. The same reckless nonsense we have to deal with on roadways and highways is coming soon to a bike path near you.

I recently drove from GP to W Bloomfield via 8Mile and Telegraph Roads. The number of lanes, the volume of cars essentially all going the same places was shocking.
I asked myself "who thought this was a good idea? Did they envision this auto-overloaded mayhem during planning and construction?"

Maybe the reason is that you can be fairly sure that a licensed plumber knows that hot is on the left, cold is on the right, and 💩 flows downhill. On the other hand, a CPA license doesn't guarantee expertise in tax in general or specific types of tax like trust or partnership.

SUVs of the bike world is not a positive reference. Everything that's wrong with American vehicles and roadways are embodied in today's SUV; too big, too heavy, too expensive, overpowered and threat to smaller vehicles and pedestrians.

Kids don't have any money, therefore kids can't hire lobbyists.

Municipal golf courses are a great vehicle to expose the less affluent to the game of golf. The more municipal courses that can be preserved the better, IMHO. Chandler Park, Rogell, Rouge Park are still around. Unfortunately, Rogell and Palmer Park are gone and not coming back.

Parking meters are an enforcement tool to keep parking spaces open for businesses. Wait until everyone in the neighborhood finds that there is unlimited free parking on Jos Campau, those same business owners will be clamoring for "enforcement" on the vehicles parked in a spot for weeks at a time.
