If cycling were safer and a more realistic option in regards to city layout, every walk of life would be cycling. It's a chicken and egg problem, lack of infra means cycling sucks for normal people, so no cyclists except roadies. No cyclists means no push for infra, no advocates.
- wolverine876 3y agoI'm sure that's true in some places, but my original point (somewhere upthread) was that I've been in cities with plenty of cycling infra but where utilization was very low and mostly two walks of life, wealthy white people and delivery people. So the a first step has been taken there, building the infrastructure. But they need to actively take the second step and spread cycling. 'Build it and they will come' doesn't seem to work.
