I was on a business trip to Dallas a few years back and noticed a lot of the roads had a curb right at the edge of the lane. No shoulder whatsoever. I get the feeling that is most definitely NOT a bicycle friendly town. Seattle has a LOT of problems, to the point that I will leave as soon as I can, but if you are a cyclist it is pretty close to heaven - at least in that area.
I’m in OH.
Most of the streets where I live, and on the way to work, are narrow, older streets with curbs. Once you’re out of the residential areas, than there’s barely any paved road outside the right line, followed by some gravel, and then grass.
Not much is bicycle friendly, but then the weather isn’t very accomodating much of the year either.
Ironically, we do have some bike paths in our metroparks, but they have to be shared with pedestrians, which seems to aggravate both groups. In some places there are dirt horse trails that parallel the paved paths, but the runners get upset with bikers using those. The rollerbladers are out of luck altogether ;)
