and here i feel we've overcorrected.
Fast biking is absolutely fine (i have an e-bike, it's very nice) and doesn't require any insane infrastructure, just some wider straighter bike paths between more significant and far apart destinations.
like i'm sorry but i'm not gonna bike to the next town over at 15km/h, and those routes aren't going to have lots of pedestrians.
A big road having bike lanes is perfectly fine. Moreover it's encouraging to see people talking of putting bike lanes for commuters. But that's a bikeable area, not a walkable one. And these 2 make sense in diff situations.
As long as kids and old people are able to walk or slow cycle most places, unsupervised (in a 20-40 minute radius around their homes), I'm happy with that. A place suitable for these 2 demographics is walkable for almost everyone else as well.
