shout at two-wheeled travelers,who slow traffic.A few will doeven worse.The New York Times reports that incidents of aggression toward bicycle riders appear to begrowing.Even though actually every state allows bicyclists the same rights as motorists to usethe streets,many drivers still refuse to accept this.They view themselves as Kings of theRoad-an impression that has been strongly built by the transportation planningprofession,which has designed our cities as if people didnt exist outside of their cars.But a big new idea to settle this conflict and improve life in the streets for everyone is nowtaking root among community activists,urban planners and traffic engineers.第4页，共21页Too many of our streets are designed only for speeding cars.Theyre unsafe for people on footor bike.Now,in communities across the country,a movement is growing to complete thestreets.States,cities and towns are asking their planners,engineers and designers to build roadnetworks that welcome all

morecomfortable sharing the road with two-wheelers.Indeed,I get the impression that mostmotorists now envy rather than hate me,and cant wait to get home where they can jump on theirown bikes.This will happen everywhere as more and more Americans discover biking as agreat way to get around,save money,lose weight,protect the planet and have fun.12.Who cause the traffic problem according to the
