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.
