His humor is a bit subtle. But, yeah. He lays it on a bit thick in that video.

Essentially the point was: Yes, getting people to have options other than driving in places like the frozen tundra that is North Dakota requires more than a parking garage. It requires treating bicycles like a valid form of transportation & serving the transportation network accordingly.

He has a point: If school children can do it there, why is it impossible for adults here? I can understand how that can be a bit grating and come off as condescending when the only infrastructure available is none at all. Or what is provided is inadequate, isn't serviced, or prioritized to meet the needs of the citizens. The idea that you, the individual, *could* ride your bike in the winter with nothing more than a jacket & a toque seems impossibly foreign, alien. Condescending, because with American Exceptionalism, if you could, surely somebody would've thought of it & people would do it.

We can do better. Fortunately we do have the power to change that. The video shows what can be done when city budgets are not blown up by the unsustainably high cost of prioritizing automobiles.
