> At the moment biking is dominated by young fit and generally healthy people. That may be silicon valley but it isn't the general population. I see lots of young parents going to work by bike, but do they take their kids to school on bikes? Does grandma get to the doctor on a tricycle? Where I live kids, young adults and old people are the most prevelant cyclists. Grandmas who have riddden bikes their whole lives, they don't own a car, and it takes less effort and is faster than walking. They're not particulary fit, usually overweight and they ride easy and slow as hell. You don't need to be young athelete to cycle. And kids cycle to school on their own. Obviously there are exceptions, nobody's suggesting banning cars altogether, but the average old person can cycle just fine and so can a school aged kid.
