Not to disparage the Netherlands but you have been building bike lanes
since the late 1890's and the use of bicycles is much, much higher
than in the U.S.

If only we could figure out if there were a relationship with building
more bike lanes and much higher use of bicycles.

In some locales there might be a bit of an increase in bicycle use but
the predominate trend seems to be no, building more bike lanes does NOT
normally mean a MUCH HIGHER use of bicycles.

It’s hard to tell sometime. You’ve been to Montreal I think. We have a
lot of bicycles and a lot of bike lanes. Chicken and egg? I know there
isn’t much infrastructure here that goes unused. At least once the snow
melts. 6 month winters is the problem here.
