I don’t care about honking. I’ve seen two people on a bike near me in almost two decades and I’ve seen a dozen bikes staged on the roadside as memorials to people who have died. I’m not worried about honking, I’m worried about dying.
I have lived in Europe and I know that can be a viable option for many people. But there are many places in the US where there are no real alternatives to a car. I have lived in my house for 18 years, bought at the beginning of 2007 before the market bubble popped and haven’t been able to afford to move since then. In 18 years I have seen exactly two people riding a bike near my home and I sometimes wonder if they’re still alive.

That’s not feasible for every person.
It should be.
Should be doesn’t make it so.
It sets a direction.
Political action sets a direction. Telling people who may not have the option that they should just do it, does nothing.
It broadens their view.
Doesn’t work on you
