If you're one of the millions of Americans who have swapped their car for a more planet-friendly bike, you're probably aware of the dangers that come with riding on the street alongside drivers. As cycling grows in popularity, many states have made bicycle-friendly implementations, like Colorado's three-foot bike lanes, but none are as cool as Bicycle Boulevards.

Bicycle Boulevards is a simple yet innovative concept that would create more bicycle-friendly (low-traffic, low-speed) roadways that allow cyclists to mix with drivers in a safe manner. More and more towns are including bicycle boulevards in their urban planning, like Portland and Berkeley. Check out the video from Streetfilms below, as they discuss how cities like Manhattan could benefit from bicycle boulevards.

Imagine how much easier this would make your commute to school or work! Fingers crossed that more of these bicycle boulevards will start popping up over the country.
