Ubiquitous car ownership is physically impossible in urban areas— usually at least 10 people live in a building one or two parking spaces wide, and even if parking were solved, urban roadways cannot handle all those cars driving at once — and many people are unable to drive for health, financial, or legal reasons. Bicycles (or other small wheeled vehicles) are much more accessible to more people now that electric power is practical in addition to human power. In many urban areas, there is a lack of _any_ safe bike routes from point a to point b, which is not the experience of the motorist.
