There's a sweet spot for bicycle travel: journeys between 2km and 5km are too far for most people to walk, doable on a bike in most climates/terrains without breaking a sweat, and faster on a bike than a car when you account for parking time. Cycle infrastructure is about enabling that sweet spot at both ends, getting people out of cars as well as enabling non-car owners to travel around their whole neighbourhood.
