Note to everyone: if you install a rain mod in our game, I will burn your house down (why might that be, hm? It wouldn't have anything to do with the Finnish weather, would it now?

).
For the record: Traffic++ will introduce cyclists in the next few weeks (could be just animations, but still). Also, they have managed to make cars use all lanes on 6-lane roads (!!), while halving the slowdown effect that their mod has on the game (it will be barely different from the vanilla game)! --Baring this in mind, I will effect sweeping changes across the city, using it as a proving ground for Metropolis (the name of the city in our next SG). Mainly to test out cycling ideas, since you can't really test for the other improvements.
@ItalianGuy: if you want to, you can already begin this experiment; the idea is that in principle, you can walk/cycle from anywhere to anywhere in the city, without crossing paths with a single car.

I likely won't accomplish this ideal in our current city, but if we take this as a guiding principle for Metropolis, it just might be doable (especially if T++ adds some goodies to support this).
