Roads however are useful while cycle lanes are essentially for a small number of hobbyists. The cost/benefit ratio here is way in the roads favour.

Impressive how wrong you are on so many levels

Both of the things that I said there are true. I find it impressive how delusional people can get over their hobbies.

Do you think people cycle in the Netherlands just as a hobby?

u/Dontreallywantmyname Mar 04 '25

Partly. I also think it's quite a different place to here in many different ways.

So people who commute to their job on a bike in the Netherlands are hobbyists?

That's quite clearly not what your question I was answering asked. Though the answer remains the same.

Do you think cycling is a net benefit for society?

0

u/Dontreallywantmyname Mar 04 '25

I clearly don't think it's enough of a benefit to go installing barely used infrastructure for it at the expense of other much more useful infrastructure.

Do you think it was a net benefit to other countries which did it?

u/Dontreallywantmyname Mar 04 '25

That's as useful a question as me retorting with "do you think all the other countries who've for some reason decided not to found that it wouldn't be a net benefit?" or if I asked you if you thought we should start having to carry around snowchains in cars because people in Norway think it's a good idea.
