No one wants to force people to hand over their cars and replace them 1:1 with a bicycle.
We want bicycle infrastructure that is on par with car infrastructure, so that it's possible to use a bicycle without feeling like you're unarmed in a war zone.
The goal isn't to abolish cars, it's to abolish car dependency.
Because car dependency sucks for everyone.
