re: How is there not one public jogging track in this city?

No frick these bikers that represent an absurdly small % of the population but demand all this special entitlement like bike paths everywhere that are going to be used by the 5 fruitcakes that commute to work in south Louisiana weather

Actually Nola needs bike lanes badly. But that city has some of the worst infrastructure in the country, so it won't happen. Hell, being in the industry, I'd rather see them finally remove the lead waterline and cypress log storm pipes, before they spend money on bike lanes. Not to mention that most homes don't have driveways, so that makes it tough.

I can't speak for BR, but I'm sure it needs lanes too. You can easily ride a bike comfortably from October to early April, without much sweating. Colorado has spent a ton of money putting lanes everywhere. And even though there's a huge Mexican population (which Texans love to blame their obesity rate on), yet they are mosty skinny. The fattest people in this state are people eat of Denver, in the sticks.

Louisiana and the south in general, are very fat. Part of it is the diet, but also the sedentary lifestyle. Except maybe the Cajuns that two step that fat away.
