Bikes should have a sidewalk. Putting them on the road and clogging the actual roads intended for 1 ton metal tanks barreling down at 40-50mph is dangerous and irresponsible.

And more bike lanes does NOT mean less cars. Not every city is new york or boston. Not all of us want to live in a crowded city with no privacy or space to breathe. Some cities aren't bikeable for the common man.

Agreed. Separate bike paths are for everyone’s benefit. 

I don’t even think biking should be unique to cities. Plenty of small towns prior to the 70s had really nice town centers that people could walk and bike. Suburbs could have mixed zoning with small business like grocery stores, restaurants, etc all within walking/biking distance. 

No one realistically wants to eliminate all cars, or force everyone to live in a crowded city. We just need to give people travel options so if they want, they can use alternative travel methods.
