      Obligatory “your 1% edge case doesn’t invalidate the point” comment.

      Many many many many people could bike if there was infrastructure.

      Again - it’s not a once size fits all solution. But you should still advocate for better bike infrastructure where applicable.

      There’s a lot of FuckCars people who ask for too much. We don’t need to go completely car-less, and that’s an unattainable goal for a lot of reasons.

      Most US cities have <5% of people using bikes as their main commute method, and around 20-30% doing work from home. What can we do to get to 20% of commuters on a bike while maintaining WFH numbers? That alone would be transformative. Tons of cars off the road, and enough bike usage to demand city councils dedicate more to bike infrastructure.
