An article from today's NYT on the efforts of the mayor of Sao Paulo to improve non-car mobility in his city:
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/05/world/americas/mayor-fernando-had...
The hostility that seems common (at least according to the impression the author gives) from motorists towards non-motorists is familiar.
A detail that I am struck by is that the 7% share cited for cycling as daily transportation (or daily use, I'm not sure which is really meant) is, I believe, higher than any North American city despite being called 'paltry'. Isn't MSP highest in the USA/Canada at about 5%?

The comments from locals also remind me of the trials we have here, where paths ends abruptly and are littered with potholes and tree roots.
