      Yep. When I was searching for more info I found a transcript from a radio host saying that "no one" bikes into the city because everyone lives in the outer suburbs, 15-20 kilometers away. (Which, by bike, would still be less than the 65 minute average commute time.) Then I searched density statistics and saw that although there's suburban sprawl, Melbourne, and its central business district, contain the most densely populated areas in Australia.

        Stayed with a family friend in Brunswick. We got drunk and he laughed at me for not having a car. Next morning he's walking out with a bike helmet on. "Mate, I'm not paying for parking."

      These people have baby brains and only care about things placed right in front of them. Bike lanes are visible.

      Babys develop the concept of object permanence which apparently many motorists do not, seeing how we're still dealing with bikes, pedestrians, hell, even other cars "coming out of nowhere"
