Bikes are the most efficient form of urban transportation, and we should be making it as easy as possible to get around by bike. “Stop right there. My grandmother with her bad knees can’t ride a bike! How am I supposed to get groceries? Cyclists are a bunch of a****** who run through stop signs! Besides, why should my taxpayer money go to pay for someone else’s hobby?”
As an aside, "induced demand" is nothing more than a modern application of Say's Law from classical Keynesian Economics, i.e., the notion that supply creates it's own demand. Say's Law first appeared in print in 1803!
Wonderful article! I would love to ride a bike but for many of the reasons you cite, I can't. And wouldn't dare. Walking is good but won't get me around in a reasonable timeframe.
Excellent information!
