>You forgot the bike lanes that take up road space but nobody uses.

Where I live (city in the PNW), bike lanes see heavy use year-round.

Where I live there lots of little hills: the city is made of lots of hills. Even with electric bikes, it's really horrible to drive in the city.

But you see bicycles on the bike lanes, lots of bicycles. When it's summer time and when it's not raining.

Otherwise the people are all in their cars.

Where I live (also a city in the PNW, with a lot of hills) bike lanes see heavy use during the weekday morning commute, and pretty spotty use every other time of day, and during the weekend.

Amsterdam is a different kettle of fish entirely. That's what I'd call "heavy."

That's the classic. City is not friendly to bikes or peds, they add bike lanes, city is not friendly to bikes peds or cars.

Cars aren't friendly to cities

"Just one more car lane bro it'll fix congestion this time I swear."

Yes, because removing car lanes while car usage is growing (due to demographics and urban development) it totally the right approach.

Some cities really do have enough road for the population
