What they won't tell you is that building a road is much more expensive than building a cycleway, as the road construction is much deeper.

Even maintenance costs more, as lorries damage roads much more than any cycle ever can.

Apart from the fact that cycling is free and cars are cars...

Do you really want to subsidize E-bike lanes?

The program being cut was for electric grid upgrades and H2 projects. There was not a single "e-bike lane" project being funded.

Lmao these fuckers can't grasp the concept of a return on investment unless they are directly profiting off of it.

Actually, they probably grasp it perfectly and don't want their viewers to be able to.

Remind me which states bring in the most tax dollars?

Said it before and will say it again. Without bike the lanes the bike is in the car lane and I don't think drivers want that.
