Erm aren't you forgetting something?
London just quadrupled its bicycle network. That seems like a massive improvement to me. When I lived there, biking was...let's be kind and say "less than ideal". Last time I visited I was amazed by the improvement, with protected two-way bike lanes right on the Thames and much more.

- tom_ 3y agoThe comment specifically excludes London, as it works differently from the rest of the UK.
- Hamuko 3y agoSince when have bicycles been public transport?
- mpweiher 3y agoExactly. Poster was presenting cars and public transport as the only two options, and complaining that one has been made worse without improving the other. That completely misses the fact that there is in fact a third option that has been greatly improved, even if poster doesn’t like it. Hence “Aren’t you forgetting something” rather than “you’re wrong”
