the new study which is reviewed in this article (road.cc/content/news...) is surely going to get a bunch of bad-faith reads from ppl who oppose bike infra, but the reality is that a good grid of low-stress bikeways is a prerequisite for most to start biking, but they still need a nudge to get going.

We are not asking for bicycle dominance or even for a complete end to car dominance.
We are just asking for a slight diminishing of total car dominance in favor of having a choice.
People who want to walk, ride bikes, or take public transit should be able to.
It would benefit everyone!
