This is such bullshit. If you follow the links it does lead to a number or even a lot of investment. Some cities improving stuff but they are also counting people buying e-bikes, and entire cities buying bike fleets. You can spend billions on buying bikes if you want, that's not "infrastructure".
"Millions" across the US is a laughable investment. European cities individually spend more than that, because it's cheaper than maintaining roads for cars, adding more lanes of highways, and climate change.
I bet you the amount of money being poured into new highways is 100x was is being done for bikes.
I latched onto the same stat, but for a different reason. What percentage of those 75,000 don't ride to work because they are now working from home?
I don't ride to work anymore, but I put in more miles than ever. 30 miles round trip to grab a beer with a friend on Saturday afternoon, hell yeah! Sometimes I go out on my lunch breaks to wake up and re-energize myself.
