    If more people go with bike and/or walk you would have more infrastructure for it. Also keep annoying your local representatives.

    Where there is a will there is a way.

    Even in the US there are places that are inaccessible by car as far as I know. Then again some people in the US also have the BS abuse that wide bike lanes make it harder for fire trucks etc to get around ….

      Oh we try but it’s a very uphill battle. Not to mention we have the loudest car brains all shrieking that “it isn’t used!” when talking about the 2 bike lanes in a city, as if they were even connected or went anywhere people needed to go (and they are still used by yours truly and others anyhow).

      It’s not really a surprise when people don’t use it when they have to brave 40+mph car traffic to get to the bike lane right?

      I keep contacting my reps but I’ve come to the conclusion that meaningful transit and Europe-like bike infra will just never happen in my lifetime. Sad but maybe generations after me will have it.
