I have this dream of being able to bike down any road without thinking about getting hit by a car. I could take the direct route to the grocery store. I could go at night.
You don’t need zero cars to achieve that, just protected cycle lanes on all roads and well designed streets that prioritize pedestrians and cycling and don’t allow thoroughfare for cars. And also decent driver licensing tests and enforcement of road rules for cars… so that most people choose not to drive because it’s too much hassle for them.
