I see. There have been studies in some places showing more people would like to ride but don't bother because of the treatment cyclists get these days, wherever separate infrastructure isn't available. It didn't used to be that way but nowadays there are even folks who will literally just yell at a cyclist for existing, and/or who get pissy because they don't understand you need some space to get around potholes. (These same people who harass cyclists want to complain about traffic and road repairs/construction but there'd be less delays and maintenance costs for us all if everyone that wanted to felt safe and comfortable cycling. That attitude literally make things worse for everyone, including the people who have it.)
