Yeah, sorry for that sounding anti bike, I had just cracked into an afterwork drink and was a bit jolly.(The lycra comment was unnecessary blanket statement based on the locals in my experience)
I would be 100% cycler if I lived in a place of fully supplied infrastructure. So your point on safety being a barrier is true. I grew up on BMX and MTX in the desert so while bikes have been a major part of my upbringing I never really had to contend with roads.
Generally I just feel we all lose. Bikers don’t feel safe and car drivers have an extra obstacle.
The real truth is I don’t know why I ended up in this thread. I haven’t got any stakes and just got lost.
But you guys keep doin the work, carcentric infrastructure is really annoying.
As someone who uses a bicycle for commute and groceries, thank you for understanding.
I just wear my usual clothing when I buy groceries or ride my bike to work. This is not a sport to me, I just like, that bicycles are faster than walking. 😊
You can cycle in normal clothes and shoes, many people do.
Voting for better cycling infrastructure is usually on a very local level, so it’s hard to say who to vote for without knowing where you’re located.
