It' a trope to cite individual frustrations with your bike commute as valid in a discussion concerning what is reasonable for the entire world. There are lots of people who are not able to ride a bike or walk to work, or even a hospital even though we as individuals may be... Many people don't have the vision, equilibrium, attention span, or stamina it takes to ride a bicycle. I am able now, but one day I will also be unable to ride a bicycle myself, and so will you be. God help us if Uber is a monopoly my then, a simple ride will be astronomical in cost. You don't account for bad weather and just the shear process of making people surrender their right to owning a car just simply won't fly in many cities realistically unless you are suggesting a strange oppressive government control on individuals, which in itself is a slippery slope. During the initial stages of the pandemic, public transportation was almost completely abandoned, it is still operating at an annual loss world-wide, and being subsidized heavily to stay afloat, just as it was prior to the pandemic. That is indicative of the kind of total chaos that can come if that kind of illogical moral control takes hold of our rights into the future. If riding a bicycle on major roads is not safe, one has the ability to make an individual decision to chose a better form of (safer) transport, than just complaining to restrict everyone else... At the same time, cities should make dedicated bike and pedestrian infrastructure, without a wild assortment of scattered efforts n every road, and not wasting tons of money just to placate angry online mobs that want their individual perspectives catered to -- That's what is rational. Some of the most vocal dictators on how all humans should live suffer severely from the inability to consider factors outside of their own experience, and it's a fatal flaw that often gets imposed on everyone else.
