> I actually don't like cycling infrastructure because it makes bikes less numerous on the road and drivers less aware that there maybe cyclists.

Have you ever been to the Netherlands or other places where utility cycling is actually encourages?

One of his latest videos debunks vehicular cycling, which I very much agree with.

In places were people who are easily frightened by cars cycle, modal share for bikes is huge. In place where they don't cycle, modal share is pitiful.

It makes a ton of sense, and as someone who doesn't actually ride bikes for sports/fitness/fun, it's something I definitely agree with based on personal experience.

> I am aware of all the arguments. I've heard them all before. Nothing you have mentioned is new. Nothing what they will say is new.

I didn't realize I'm arguing with God, over here. As we all know there was no progress since the Romans, including the fact that these days people still pray to Roman Gods, this discussion is over.
