There is a bike lane going to a popular trail and crossing multiple major streets, also with bike lanes, as well as passing by multiple apartment complexes near my house. A two way lane with curbs and bollards, no cars parked there, with bike traffic lights and many side streets with 2 way stops (no stop on the street with the lane) or, at least, 4 way stops. I do drive on the same street from/to work as well as ride on the same lane to the trails. There are not many cyclists on it, orders of magnitude fewer than there are cars on the same street.
"Urbanists" greatly exaggerate the number of cyclists. And on top of being in the vast minority, cyclists don't ride many miles per day, they are limited by the biology. So, naturally, even if every motorist had the vehicle confiscated and replaced by a bicycle, you would not see nearly as much traffic of cyclists. And in reality the vast majority of the tiny minority of cyclists also own a car and use it for most trips, only riding for exercise/fun.
