How about placing sharrows instead of bike lanes where appropriate, and funding full time bicycle educator positions. Commuters, students, families and recreational cyclists (and motorists)would have access to year-round training, and more cyclists would take to city streets with more confidence and less fear.

Another would convert an historic bridge between South Dakota and Nebraska to bike-ped use, connecting extensive cycling networks on both sides.

Some paths are out of the way, or closed after dark, or otherwise not much use for transportation, though they might be nice for a recreational ride. Other paths provide a direct route or a shortcut for transportation cyclists. The devil is in the details. If a path is funded by Transportation Enhancements, it should serve an obvious transportation function. Tell us more about the paths that Coburn and McCain are criticizing.
