    “Going from nothing to 1 unprotected gutter lane, might not do much for bicycle adoption.”

    I would agree, if the world wasn’t changing so quickly. People in the suburbs can’t afford cars, and they can’t afford to move out of the suburbs, and they can’t ride bicycles without risking their lives. Adding a gutter lane would give these people multiple new options including e-bikes. Right now they’re just getting ticketed for trying to drive them in the road.
