I love biking, and do it even in winter in Minnesota but this is not realistic. Winter riding is hard. Riding with kids is hard too. If you are elderly and have pre existing conditions how are you going to do it? So is this solution just for somewhat fit 15 to 65 somethings that are single and live in a specific urban area that is not too snowy?

Roads are generally very wide in this country. Plenty of space to accommodate both cyclists and cars safely. Cars for those who need it, biking without the threat of getting killed for those who can. It's and/and.

All of those people are by example rarely seen in the commute trafic. Lots of middle aged single person in a car. Even older / younger ppl can ride a (e)bike when its not too cold/hot. Get rid of heavy traffic, keep the cars for elderly and kids. Or drive them around in taxi/uber / buses. Edit: sp.

Or too hilly. Can you imagine everyone being forced to ride bikes in Duluth?

Support ebikes and change infrastructure to make biking safe. People will gradually prefer to ride bikes vs to ride, starting with the most cougareous and fit, but slowly, most people will join.

Few young girls were riding bikes in Paris a few years ago and now, it's exploding thanks to ebikes and better infrastructure (simply separate bikes from pedestrians and cars and give bike priority over cars).
