That sign usually means no entry for bikes so I was confused for a moment

Don't signs usually have a line through it when it means "no", or is that just american signage?

I agree the the comic is a bit confusing but to be fair it's in black and white. A red border would mean no entry but a completely blue background would be only bikes allowed.

It makes sense to think that they are car owners that in their regular life wouldn't tolerate bikes but on holidays find it great.

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.
