What makes biking options less attractive in suburbs?

Confused. Yes, it is good to discuss the whole aging aspect of healthy communities and what it takes to make older people feel comfortable to bike and walk. Many live in suburbs where it is not safe to cross major streets and where biking options are not attractive. There is a good bikeshare program in San Jose, I think, where seniors can borrow what are basically cargo tricycles.

Can you share this with the TRB Health and Transport group. Also, there needs to be some review of this issue for those who are fostering aging friendly communities as well as those encouraging older people to bike. Maybe there is a need for some discussion of this at TRB.
