I don't think I haven't yet reposted this when it comes up.
My work to office by car is ~15km via major roads (all 4 lanes or more).
I can not get to my office via shared pedestrian & bicycle infra, let alone bicycle only infra. Best I can do is 19km of which much is narrow shared infrastructure.

Have you seen this one before? A short history of traffic engineering via @copenhagenizers.bsky.social. Manufactured #CarDependency takes a lot of forms, including how easy or hard we make it to get from A to B using any other ways of getting around.
A direct result of the wrong priorities.

As bad as Hong Kong, London, San Fran, etc.
Many of my co-workers have to drive 30km plus each way each day.
I'm pretty sure this path, which is on about a 3-4% gradient, is about 1200mm wide.
Or about 4 foot.
Or less than two handlebars worth.
That pram and I could not pass each other without one of us stopping, and I have drop handlebars, not wide flat/mtb bars.
