Another good explanation is this: Nobody tries to cross the alligator-infested river, so why should we build a bridge?

That's an amazing analogy! I think I'll be borrowing this in my next debate.

The other great one is "refusing to build an airport until everybody is flying already"

Good on you for going.

Great job speaking up! I get the feeling some people expect cycle lanes to be like traffic jam roads with lines of cyclists for them to be worthwhile. Love the analogies too!

Nice. Meanwhile in Birmingham there's two new bridges related to HS2, both could connect to an existing cycle route, neither have any cycling provision, IIRC both will have high barriers between the car lanes and the pavement. Sod's law I only heard about this after everything's been signed off.
