But bikers are not a large reason people aren't pedestrians.

I agree that a certain level of abstraction 'feel' is important, but we shouldn't legislate by 'feel' about how people 'feel' about bikes, that is one level of 'feel' too many.

They are a significant piece of the reason in NYC, although car-centric road design is a larger piece.

You and several other commenters continue to ignore people pointing out seriously problems that are localized in NYC by quoting stats that are for the entire country.
