Bikes are only a small part of the picture. Infrastructure needs huge changes for bikes to be safe and we need to incentivise small vehicles like Kei cars and small cheap electric personal transport instead of going in the other direction. Not everyone is physically able to ride a bike and it can be challenging for those that can in some conditions such as heatwaves.

Virtue signalling hipsters on cargo bikes that cost more than a budget used car don't necessarily have all the answers. Still need to pay rego and service that car you use to drive the kids in the heat and rain when the ABC aren't watching.
