As a Dutchie with no kids I must kindly disagree with you. Go to any Dutch city and you will see tons of parents riding on bikes with their kids. It's common to see 1 adult and 2 kids on the same bike.

Go to any city thats not flat and you will soon find bikes to be unpractical for about everything.

You can get an e-bike a lot cheaper than a car.

I live in a city that is not flat. If you have a bicycle with gears that is no problem.

When you have to carry several kgs of shopping bags as well as your kid in the back seat, no matter what gears you have you will soon reach your limits.

That's where efficient and reliable public transit comes in, as well as living near a denser area.
