It's not some grand conspiracy. Bike lanes are a super easy way to win political points by doing almost nothing. Paint some lines on the road, bam, progressive urban paradise, vote for me.

They’re also bizarrely cheap compared to car roads considering they basically require no maintenance cause at worst you have a few hundred points of weight vs multiple tons
