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?

    and you cant change what car mfgs are doing.

    You can, though. The steady inflation in vehicle size is a direct response to CAFE regulations and revisions, which incentivize heavier vehicles. Pickups, of any size, were far less common prior to CAFE’s enaction in 1975, despite the population being more rural, agricultural, and industrial then.
