I hope this isn't too unfair an analogy, but your idea reminds me of trying to get wealthier people to ride buses with wifi and frills, when it's consistent, frequent, reliable service that they want (just like everyone else; the difference is the poorer people on the bus don't get to fall back on anything else.) In the same way, the staples for biking are probably safe/moderately convenient access to many places (not a single or even a couple of linear paths) and safety from negligent drivers. Like buses, I'm afraid that you're just throwing yourself at a wall as long as our development pattern provides such an enormous subsidy for cars. Also like with buses, I would love to be proven wrong.
