Sometimes you have to "break in" squeaky new breaks for a couple of minutes (accelerate, break hard, repeat)

One thing I find interesting is it's not enough to build bike infrastructure, you also need to make driving more inconvenient to incentive people to stop. The most recent example I cam think of is how New York City started to toll drivers in one very specific area, and as a result traffic went down while using other methods of transit went up
