When and where people choose to exercise doesn't really matter

Commuting sweetie. Many of us are commuting. The exercise is value added. Whether you believe it or not, we are not children playing with our bikes. Professionals are riding to work. Kids are riding to school. Cargo companies are starting up deliveries by bike (and I've seen them go by on Mohawk Road so don't tell me nobody's using them).

All those who oppose them just aren't informed or knowledgeable or care enough or what ever.

See, the dispute is not with your observation that bikes are a small minority of trips right now.

The dispute is with your sociopathic mindset (perhaps inadvertent), that cyclists should not exists just because they are a minority. That there is no latent demand from people who want to cycle but are scared of you. That kids should be able to bike or walk themselves to school. That cyclists are somehow non-contributors, and that they can't be well paid professionals who spend that money in the community. That there is a legitimate strategy to a family making fewer trips by car.

I humbly raise the possibility that you are the one refusing to get informed or care. You are the one being obtuse and refusing to acknowledge the presence of a real and needed demographic.
