Sounds like a great place for lonely refugees to meet girls.

For decent bicycle commuting it has to be more than a glorified sidewalk, though.
A cyclist zipping along at 15 mph - 18 mph cannot be mixed with walkers, dogs on extendable leashes, kids, and other hazards.
Drivers benefit because that is one less car on the road creating traffic delays.
I have a friend who commutes a total of 28 miles daily via bicycle for 80% of the week. He drives one day to resupply his locker with clothes and toiletries for the next week.
It is a pretty successful model in his situation.

Tip for riding the bicycle autobahn: Don’t linger in the high speed lane.

Figures indicate the bike autobahn would save €11.5 million yearly on medical expenses due to the health benefits of greater physical activity and reduced pollution, while it would also save €6.3 million through prevented accidents. I think the medical savings estimate is high, but the accident estimate is probably closer to reality. It will probably still be a net expense, as cyclists don't pay road taxes at the pump. Maybe they could sell a EurBikePass allowing unlimited access and have some kind of tollgate system.

Mr. Mercat and I are thinking of camping through Europe from England to Switzerland and on to Austria. Safe? Thoughts?

Most car vs. bike accidents are the fault of the cyclist. This is why one of the most dangerous places to ride a bike (or be a pedestrian) is around other cyclists.

I wonder the expected number of physical injuries (and the medical costs) that occur in riding a bike 2,000 miles versus riding a car 2,000 miles baring any collisions for both.

I guess they haven’t heard about the crime on the Silver Comet Trail (part of the 152 km trail from Atlanta to Anniston).
Sounds like it will be a happy hunting ground for feral Muzzis.

As usual with these types of “projections”, benefits consist of unproven hypotheticals, that are nearly impossible to actually measure.
