  @ascentale@sfba.social @sinabhfuil@mastodon.ie @bikenite@fedigroups.social A4. That answer will depend on the politics of the place. One has to observe what motivates your local politicians. If they actually respond to people pressure that is independent of money, turning people out to meetings consistently until you've reached your goal can work (you can also add in other public places you can pressure them). But if the politician has no shame, is firmly in the pocket of the fossil fuel lobby, you have to find and support an opposing candidate you can trust and work on their campaign in a grassroots manner to get them elected and get the fossil fuel money OUT. If cyclists want infrastructure, but not enough cyclists are around to create pressure, you can also make it more possible for people to become cyclists in ways that feel safe to them - open streets events are a great "gateway drug". https://ciclavia.org/ #BikeNite
