Also theres the edge cases like mine where walking and biking are vastly slower than driving even though the city is somewhat walkable, because I live at one of the highest elevated roads in my city. Its a 15 min walk or a 5 min bike to places, its a 1 hr walk back and a 30 min bike back.
You’re already paying for a car because your infrastructure demands one. I’m not in the US and get by just fine without one. Saves me a shitload of money too.
Cycling is unsafe because your infrastructure was built exclusively for cars. Your infrastructure is built exclusively for cars because most people have to use cars because your infrastructure was built exclusively for cars. It’s circular reasoning.
Both of those issues are caused by infrastructure and would be solved by building slightly less stupid infrastructure.

Which is a good reason for people that want bicycle infra to vote and run for office!
