How? they aren't even giving people the money. It's literally just for repairs. If anyone here is having an emotional/ideological take it would be you.

- mytailorisrich 7y agoThat's not an argument... "Just for repairs" is exactly my point. This is what makes it quite obvious that it won't do anything regarding uptake of cycling. It's a windfall, people will obviously be happy and may take the opportunity to upgrade to more expensive parts, but that's about it. If they needed repairs they would have had them done anyway. This is a political measure that has no practical value. There was a public transport strike in France recently and that caused an uptake in cycling. I expect the same after the end of the lockdown because people may still be wary of public transport. This subsidy brings nothing.
