The infrastructure isn't to a level that it's a viable alternative for many. It's a chicken and egg thing.

It's a cultural mindshift thing as well.

Lots of bike lanes have been developed (happy to see it) but some people don't take advantage of it...hence the inequity in infrastructure development.

Wish it wasn't the case, but it is an issue.

More people would use bike lanes if they didn’t have to be an adrenaline junkie with a deathwish to use them.

You ever visit the belt line in Atlanta? I’ve never seen so many pregnant mothers and children on bicycles. That’s because THEY DONT NEED TO INTERACT WITH CARS. I bet most of the car tards here would be against that too.

Bike modal use in DC has one of the highest year over year growth rates in the nation. However our network is still fairly incomplete, yet with every new part of the network usage increases.
