    It’s nice to have data to back up what should be absurdly obvious. This is also a good counter to the argument that “there’s no demand for it.” More bike-friendly infrastructure will create more demand.

      Yep, it’s the classic “if you build it, they will come” effect that we’ve seen play out in cities like Copenhagen and Amsterdam where ridership exploded after proper infastructure was built, not before.
