As reported in Wired, Federal policies will now have to consider cyclists and pedestrians as coequals with motorists: http://www.wired.com/autopia/2010/03/lahood-policy-statement/
I have mixed reactions about this. Let's face it, except in small flat cities with mild climates, cyclists will always be a tiny minority of commuters. I'd much rather see energy and money directed towards public transportation than for bicycle lanes, etc.
On the other hand, any change that makes commuting more annoying, expensive or slower for individual drivers, can't be all bad.
