Yes, if your city treats cycling as an afterthought, it will be less practical to cycle. If your city treated driving as an afterthought, it would be less practical to drive. You get what you build for and what you prioritize.

Oulu has snow for half of the year and still has a substantial cycling mode share, because they prioritize it: https://youtu.be/s3Sx_OH_wok https://youtu.be/s3Sx_OH_wok
- sandworm101 4y agoLots of alternative transport things are possible in cities with 10x the population and 4x the urban density. And little farming/agra business. In a country one can drive across in a day. There is no comparison to the middle parts of North America.
- ryukafalz 4y agoWe're talking about cities, so... the urban density of Oulu is 2,372/sq mi. The urban density of Indianapolis is 2,352.6/sq mi. Pretty comparable!
