> In the event of a natural disaster or an evacuation, are people supposed to ride their bikes to escape a wildfire or a hurricane? This article is arguing for cycling/public transport infrastructure in city cores. Of course cars (or high speed trains in developed countries) are more suited for travelling large distances. Building more bike lanes in the inner city doesn't stop people from evacuating by car. As another commenter said, density and urban layout problems are one of the major problems relating to your other points. Also - kids love riding bikes by themselves when it's safe, at least myself and my friends did!
