Then stop phrasing it like it is the only viable option.
This is true, but a policy that will favour bikes will be done at the expense of public transports.
The fairly large Midwestern city I grew up in has bike racks on every single bus so you can ride your bike to/from any bus stop anywhere in the city. It's just the cheap little 2 bike ones on the front that add about 30 seconds of fumbling to the stop, but it still significantly extends how far one can travel without a vehicle in the city
Edit: autocarrot decided the buses need bone racks before bike racks

Why can't cars be the solution? What if we developed cheap, electictric vehicles? You know, like electric bikes, or scooters. This is all theoretical, but some day these could be seen all over!
Maybe with solar power, and other renewables, we can forge a future with cheap tech at the forefront!
No? Okay. I'll see myself out. Don't worry, dreamers like me can just find the nearest ditch to die in, rather than you all be wrong about "cars".
