So do we just invest the same amount of public funds into automobile infrastructure and bicycle infrastructure? That seems overly simplistic.

also impossible, because they're mostly done within the same context.

it's pretty rare to get dedicated cyclist lanes which were created separately to the rest of the road.

it's generally created simultaneously.

There is still always some balance of priorities, even if it’s not made explicit in official budgets. That balance needs to be chosen somehow.
