The Dutch drive, too, they just tend to cycle for shorter trips. No one serious is seriously saying 'replace all cars' as a solution for the foreseeable future
I am totally for more cycling… but imo from a policy perspective in most cities we just need more public transit and maybe some more bike lanes in areas they could help.
This is right. I desperately want to cycle places and take public transit, but in Los Angeles, things have been built with such distances that this often means 2+ hour trips if not done by car. Cities need to rezone and re-prioritize for better public transit in a lot of areas to reach this vision.
Portland, Oregon has bike racks on their buses. It's entirely possible, with appropriate infrastructure, for people to combine cycling and public transit in order to get from point A to point B efficiently without a car.
