Whilst I agree with the sentiment, it's not possible for everyone to use a bike 100% of the time. Infrastructure does help, and I admit my UK city is certainly not very bike friendly, but even if it was it would be nearly impossible as everything is just too far away and/or you can't transport what you need to on just a bike. We still need cars of some propulsion method or another.
why "people cannot bike 100% of the time" but"people cannot drive 100% of the time" is never an issue? There are way more people who cant drive than people who cant ride a bicycle and that didnt stop humanity from making ourselves dependant on cars.
