America is not the only car centric culture. What is up with all the ‘America bad’ bullshit on Lemmy lately?

Also, I literally live next to a fully separated bike lane in an oil state…

Because unlike other car centric places, the US federal government is actively opposed to any improvement in bicycle or walking infrastructure, though some states are willing to defy the federal government

Add to that how the US federal government is opposed to renewable energy, opposed to protection of the environment, opposed to protection of threatened species, opposed to immigration, opposed to past immigration, opposed to assigned at birth gender nonconformity, opposed to non reproductive sexual preferences, opposed to education — especially of women

Your oil state is probably more responsive to people's desire to ride a bike without being killed than the US, and yours is an oil state.
