In this video we address more of the bad arguments against bike infrastructure we've encountered, including some that came up very often in response to our last video.
1. Canada, the U.S., and Australia are big countries with low population densities. How can cycling be practical?
2. You should stop the “social engineering” of forcing bikes onto cities. People just want to drive.
3. Cyclists don’t have the right to road space because they don’t get a license or registration.
4. Cyclists don’t need dedicated infrastructure; they should learn to share the road with cars and trucks.
5. Cyclists don’t need dedicated infrastructure; they should just bike on the sidewalk.
