    My city has been pushing through improving the biking infrastructure for a decade now.

    People have been bitching about it from day one. They bitched even more as the first lanes were going in, as they were “useless” and went “nowhere”

    They’ve continued to bitch about it every year, every construction project.

    But now, we have a highly interconnected network of bike lanes (most protected) all around town and they’re getting heavily used.

    People still find reasons to bitch about it like it’s slowing down traffic by narrowing roads or lost parking spots or whatever, but the “it’s not useful” stuff has stopped.
