Milwaukee Raises Lane

Raised Bike lanes are a fairly new concept in the U.S.  Oregon has pioneered the idea, and many cities have started plans to upgrade or introduce them into their own cycling infrastructure.  Off the top of my head, there are plans and projects in New York, Chicago, to name a few of the large cities, and enumerable smaller ones have designs to use them.  Amsterdam has the top award for cyclists, both in numbers, and in integration into city traffic. Bikes there outnumber cars, so lane designs take a front seat in transit planning.
