Why do some car lovers oppose bike infrastructure, when more bikes would mean fewer cars on the road?

Like you sit in traffic for an hour each day to work. Wouldn’t you want to halve that by having more other people use bicycles instead?

    Where I live, building bike infrastructure means removing a lane of traffic, or parking, to install a bunch of curbs, poles, and large rocks, to create a bike lane that largely goes unused, while traffic is substantially worsened.

    Here’s an example of a work in progress. When this was taken they hadn’t yet filled the holes they’d dug in the road with the rocks.
