    Bike lanes cost less than car lanes. Bike-path-sized snowplows probably cost less than car-lane-sized ones, too.

    Bike infrastructure only seems unaffordable for those who dishonestly see it as an add-on on top of car infrastructure, rather than correctly as a replacement for (some of) it.

      Well sure, bike infrastructure is cheap if you take a road for cars, ban all cars, and declare it bike only.

      But that’s so ridiculous it’s not worth mentioning.
