    Although the practicality is questionable, I think the takeaway is that we will have to rethink mobility and dense environments with good cycling infrastructure will be the most sustainable ones. Public transportation which is great too, also requires a certain density to be feasible.

      The practicality isn’t questionable.

      Of course there are outliers and places/people it wouldn’t work for but the vast majority should be absolutely fine.

        Even if it’s not practical right away, that’s just a reason to vote to put people in charge who would make it practical and convenient.

        It’s also possible to join a non-profit that engage with the public and local governments to make bicycle-friendly infrastructure happen.

        It is questionable though in most states in the US atleast. Not sure how someone who lives a 20 minute drive from the nearest town in the middle of nowhere is supposed to ride a bike around. The whole world isn’t urbanized

          You’re right that currently it’s hard many places in the US thanks to suburbs, terrible zoning, car focused laws and so on.
          But it’s not like biking itself is the issue here, it’s that you are in dire need of better infrastructure, zoning, public transport and laws.
