Again, it's not about cycling infrastructure itself, but making it mandatory to ride there, even with exceptions in place, one can be more severely limited in the times in choosing to not use it. Plus, not all cycling infrastructure is well thought out, but the mandatory law makes it so that it practically takes an act of Congress to be able to circumvent a poor cycling infrastructure design.
