    You’re out of your mind if you think taking out car lanes is going to make people start a 15 mile bike commute to work.

    That bike lane is 100% recreational.

      Well, that’s exactly what I do since last year. I use an electric bike (converted from a mechanical one), and if it takes time, it is actually faster than taking my car (40 minutes vs 1h+).
      And I do it even in the winter, when we get bellow zero temperatures. I just dresses warmly.

      Edit : The bike (Le Petit Porteur Longtail, wasn’t yet electrified at the time of this picture)
