Unlike America, several places in Europe have bike dominant roads. Some of them dont even have streets for cars, and are exclusively used for cycling. I would love to see this where I live, but California is so deep into debt its the least of our worries.
Posted on an About.com Amsterdam travel guide I saw online, it mentions the insane number of bike only routes the city has to offer. Stretching a vast 400km, or roughly 249 miles, Amsterdam completely blows CA out of the water when it comes to cycling lanes.
From the viewpoint of locals, the bike lanes are a good thing, it helps them cut across the city with ease and reduces the car-on-bike related accidents.
