In my city there are a lot of bicycle lanes but practically no bike racks near any businesses - and the lanes themselves avoid the main commercial streets and wind through residential neighborhoods instead.
It’s painfully obvious the bicycle infrastructure is designed for rich yuppies exercising and not commuting or shopping. Because fuck the poors.
Watched a NotJustBikes video about how poor people are actually subsidizing rich neighborhoods because of how inefficient and under taxed the houses are. Suburbs actually lose North American cities tons of money, but no one wants to make walkable cities since cars own everything now.
