What? When I worked in Sacramento the year before COVID-19 started, there were some bike paths that were behind concrete barriers. It benefitted me, as a driver, because I knew they weren't going to zig zag around some obstacle and get in my lane.

In my former #SoCal hometown, there's a sidewalk that is also a bike lane. Which means that I as a pedestrian had to watch for someone on a bicycle colliding with me. (Happened once. Low speed, so no pain or damage.) I also used to ride a bicycle around town. I stopped partly because there wasn't a safe place to ride in most areas of town.

My point is that regular people can benefit if local governments build and prioritize separate infrastructure for pedestrians and for bicyclists.
