They’d have to cross that road and it’s dangerous
“Ah, but you see, dedicating 99% of the space to cars makes sense, since 99% of traffic here is personal vehicles. Aren’t I smart?”
“…”
“Ok, I agree to a temporary bike lane, but if bicycle travel doesn’t increase we get rid of it immediately. It will of course be just this one street, we don’t want to risk a bike network succeeding.”
Not enough cross hatching!
That’s exactly how NIMBYs act, too!
“You can’t expect me to fit my single car in my empty, 6 car driveway! I neeeeed on street parking!”
Except it’d arguably still be better for the car brain person to walk a little more.
Followed up quickly with a diatribe on how you’re the one who isn’t thinking it through.

Are you saying that when parking spots are removed to create bike infrastructure, you think people don’t complain?
I’ve had these very conversations with people. Our local public transit / biking advocacy group does presentations, works with local politicians, and runs events to promote biking, transit, and safe streets.
Unless it’s a group that’s already 100% on board with pedestrian support needs, someone will complain that there’s not enough parking where a bike road should be. This is in a city where over 30% of downtown is open air parking lots, plus the roads, and then on street parking.
This comic isn’t funny, it’s just a straight up depiction of our experiences here.
What about this scenario is imaginary?
