That sign usually means no entry for bikes so I was confused for a moment
Now you are confusing me. I thought she is taking about the sign and about if someone would propose to put it in her town.
I think she means the whole idea of bike friendly infrastructure as a US citizen. But thats my interpretation, the comic isn’t very clear.

Yeah it is confusing. But as you pointed out the sign means no entry for bikes in most of the Europe, it doesn’t mean anything in US.

On the other hand this is titled car-brains on vacation. Implying they normally drive cars.

Really confusing.

I think a “biking prohibited” sign would have a wider black border.

The comic is clear. American suburbanites will go vacation in dense walkable European cities with good active transportation infrastructure and then will return home and attend city council meetings objecting to any plan that would bring similar changes to where they live.

The comic is a commentary on NIMBY behavior.
