Its ridiculous to call it a 'radical infrastructure investment'. The Us already made all the radical infrastructure investment in their absurdly over-designed roads. Some idiotic cities in the South even have 12 feet road lanes when 9-10 is already enough.
The US has the needed infrastructure, converting to an elite bike lane network is incredibly cheap. In fact it saves a huge amount of money.
Far less costly accidents, healthier people, better business in the city, higher property rights and so on.
This has been proven over and over again. Its just in the US where even liberals seem to just buy the car industry marketing hook, line, and sinker.
It has been proven also, that once there is safe bicycle infrastructure, people will bike. And most people can bike just fine. In fact, because children can actually bike, its actually more accessible to the population then cars. There are even these people, they are called poor people, that also might have a bike but not a car.
At some point people have to break out of it and think about these things with logic and consider the last 30 years of evidence, rather then 1960s propaganda.
