We've spent five years building a cycling infrastructure in Denver

Have we? Outside of some REALLY recent developments downtown I haven't seen this supposed investment in bicycle lanes. Painting some sharrows on the road isn't building infrastructure, it's doing the bare minimum. I know 11th received a painted bike lane (unprotected and with no change to alignment outside of one quarter block stretch). The new lane coming up Arapahoe is great...but I'd argue that Denver has basically completely dropped the ball on investing in intracity transit altogether. The idea that we're somehow prioritizing bicycle lanes at the expense of dedicated transit lanes is silly. We're doing neither.

It Doesn't matter though because it's the same old ad nauseum argument where once side, the "Denver Yay!" side

I'd be surprised if you find anyone on this board who thinks "Denver Yay!" with regards to transit.
