When we talk about bike lanes in general, there aren’t enough people riding bikes to make it worthwhile. There’s too many cars on the road. It’s unrealistic to say we’re going to put in bike lanes, but there aren’t enough people riding bikes. What are we gonna do? Tell everyone to go out and buy a bike? How many people are going to do that?

Someone teach this guy what "induced demand" is.
