That is one subset of the public. Another subset has a problem that their cars are stuck in traffic, and they don't see bikes as an answer for them. (nor do they see how much worse car traffic would be if those bikes were cars instead)

The public is not a single entity with a single concern.

Careful. Bike people can't fathom someone for whom a bike isn't an answer to a number of questions.

I've met some bike people like that. And others who think the bike is about a nice sunday 'fitness' ride to a bar and not useful for any other trip.
