That's because, there is no clear voice for cyclists. That is, different cyclists are saying different things. Jefferey Hiles complained about this situation some 8 years ago when he first wrote "Listening to Bike Lanes". But how do you get around it? You either believe facilities help cyclists and cycling, or you think most of them (including almost all if not all bike lanes) hurt cyclists and cycling more than they help (if they help at all).
There is no resolution between the two sides, because the only thing we could potentially have in common is education. But facilities advocates are typically not very interested in education, probably because education points out the harm of facilities.
