In many cases restrictions and amenities are two sides of the same coin. You often can't add bike infrastructure in cities without taking away something from drivers (travel lanes, parking, etc) because drivers are already given nearly all the space on our streets. Drivers will complain that they're being restricted whenever you take anything away from them. But people often can't get around safely on bikes without doing so; that bike infrastructure for those who would like to bike is a valuable amenity.
