How would you implement this? Are they going to have bridges over every traffic light?

Toronto has a pretty sweet setup with bike lanes that have their own bike street lamps. Seems to work very well for a city of millions.

Extensive unlit tunnels five feet tall and two and a half feet wide. Entry and exit is by vertical shaft only.

The Netherlands would like a word.

Granted. But they were originally built with cyclists in mind. I would love their infrastructure!

The Netherlands was as car-brained as most other countries. Then, they changed course after the Stop de Kindermoord (Stop Murdering Children) protests, and started to build for people outside of cars. The process of rebuilding is still underway, now, in 2026.
The difference is not that the Netherlands was originally built for bicycles. It was not. The difference is that Americans don’t give two shits about the lives of children.
