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.
I think, a “biking prohibited” sign would have a wider black border. Yet, the border of the “bike lane” sign in the picture is a bit too wide, in my opinion, to avoid confusing it with a “biking prohibited” sign.
