There are bike lanes all over the US? Since when?

Also, isn't Musk setting up Hyperloop, or was that another publicity stunt?

Since the past decade or so, but especially the past couple of years: https://nextcity.org/urbanist-news/how-five-u.s.-cities-buil...

Re. Hyperloop: some have said it was a stunt to attack public support for CA high speed rail (which would reduce CA's dependency on cars): https://twitter.com/parismarx/status/1571628269555826688?lan...

EDIT: Re-reading your comment, I realize that you're challenging GP's assertion that we already have bike lanes everywhere, which I agree is obviously false.

67 miles per city.

For reference, two of the cities metioned are Austin with ~2500 miles of roads and Denver with 1900 miles.

It's a start. But that's all it is.
