Do you think that there might be more cyclists around if the existing infrastructure was better maintained and protected?

This isn’t ruining my day, but it seems like a clear example of a problem. And you’re actually being weird by arguing over this “useless shit” while claiming you’re not. I don’t believe your way of living is better if you choose to get annoyed by people being annoyed at something, rather than being annoyed by the thing itself. That cancels out.
