In the part of the Netherlands where I live it's not uncommon for a bicycle to be faster than a car at reaching a destination, because it's very dense in the north so your destination is likely in an area where cars can't go faster than 30 and you on a bicycle would go 20 but are far more manoeuvrable and can take shortcuts and don't have to park, additionally you don't get stuck in traffic on the bike lane because you can pass people as people are not allowed to cycle with more than two side by side and due to the quick acceleration people move aside if you ring your bell. That's why in the dense north and the cities it's often faster to go by bicycle and probably why the electric bikes are a popular alternative to cars for people with limited physical ability. Elsewhere less dense it's probably a different story if you have to travel a few kilometres over a 60 km/h road to reach your destination.
