I mean, if you're the governor and want political favors from the mayor who refuses and you decide to block bike traffic with orange cones in retaliation, the cones will blend in with the color of the bikeway and no one would see them.

Then there would be no huge bike jam to get riders angry with the mayor.

Det er tid for noen trafikkproblemer i København!
jeg forstår!
