I like the vision, already in many cities I have ridden in here in the US there are attempts to gradually achieve something similar (though I find that bike streets don't announce themselves very well, so I often see new riders on busy/bad roads when there's a much nicer designated alternative just a block or two away, if only they knew). As for the pickup trucks, just removing the subsidies from gas prices will make them fade away pretty quickly I expect.
