I want the bike to win as the ultimate tool, the commuting tool.

We need to be realistic about how it becomes that.

I would be happy with an equal among peers. There's nothing wrong with other modes, except that one dominates to the detriment of all others. And by detriment, I mean everything from safety to the design of communities.

Win for me wouldn't mean "destroy all competition", it would be "within cities and towns, be able to safely and efficiently go wherever any competition can go".
