Well, nothing causes more construction and interruption than fucking car infrastructure!

Bikes = foot traffic. Foot traffic = more people spending money in local businesses.

Most businesses who complain before bike lanes are built end up fighting to keep bike lanes when the threat of removing them comes up.

No, bears shit in a toilet like everyone else!

Once it's done though, bike lanes essentially never need to be repaved because the wear and tear is so low.

There’s even a 30 second documentary showing them using toilet paper
