I feel like @Wild self is asking questions we already answered or could be answered by the easiest of Google searches.
This could be us...but Americans love $700 car payments

Would you ride a bike going to your office job in a 3 piece suit? Would you ride your bike at 115 degree heat in July? Would you ride your bike going to the club, bagging a shorty and going home with her?

fukk yeah
Yeah. Just get him some training wheels and a heavy duty helmet.
I might wear a suit while riding a bike.
Or I might take a train.
Or I might take a tram.
Or I might drive.
There are almost no places in America that see 115 degree heat. And probably no place where this level of heat is normal all the time. This is a weird question.
I might ride a bike to the club.
Or a train.
Or a tram.
Or I might drive.
It's about options and situations.
Take all your questions, substitute "airplane" for "bike" and you'll see how preposterous your questions are.
Again.
It's about options.
When I talk about government and profit… you should automatically assume I’m not talking about for public benefit.
But what if somebody, not me, but a friend of mine, has already given up? I, I mean he, threw in the towel after the election.
This comes down to one of the biggest costs associated with bike centric infrastructure. There needs to be an overhaul of public planning and zoning to go along with it. Without that, just adding bike lanes is pointless in 85% of the country.
Urban sprawl makes biking unfeaseable. But if the club, your job, and the grocery store were within 2-5 miles of you. Riding a bike wouldn’t be an issue.
Might as well tell that person to walk into the ocean.
But what if somebody, not me, but a friend of mine, has already given up? I, I mean he, threw in the towel after the election.
Or, well, maybe drive into the ocean.
You have this ridiculous idea that somehow bike infrastructure only makes sense in large cities.
85% of the country is pointless?
You're so wrong
America's economy makes sure you won't live close to your job. 30% of all workers spend 3 hours a day traveling to and from work.

where do you live breh? you must live out rural ass Texas or Alabama with for this idea to sound so strange to you. The fact that any of these scenarios sound so farfetched to you is wild to me.The idea of bike infrastructure isn't to eliminate all cars. It's to provide options. I've ridden a bike in every single one of those scenarios you asked about. The exception obviously if it's a shorty you just met you can catch a Uber ride home. but for the other 90% of the trips you make? riding a bike is doable. I mean I've ridden a bike home from a club dozens of times. twice as easy now that e-bikes are everywhere. it's even way less cars on the road at 2am
how does a suit or a coat stop you from riding a bike??
The person in question is more of a land person. Don't do swimming. Especially in the Gulf of Mexico.
Wait... didn't the orange man just change it to the Gulf of America?
