I love micromobility. I think it's the future of human transportation, in combination with better, more efficient, more convenient, mass-transit. But this "let's dream big about bikes" is like saying "we should feed the planet". Well that's a great notion, and we can totally do that. But who the fuck is going to pay for it? The car lobby had lots of money, and was able to seize on an abundance of necessity and want: the military needed to be able to move things, cities needed to be able to expand housing out to suburbs, the country needed work, and politicians needed an answer to these problems and a big win. Interstates were a godsend to all these various issues, and the car lobby's funding made that an easy argument to make. What the hell does the bike lobby have? Chump change. A lack of necessity. Hopes and dreams. Nobody's going to build a Futurama world based on that. You need more than dreams; you need a cause. And you need to be able to provide real value for everyone, not just people who like to bike. That means businesses, politicians, etc
