There are many 'bike friendly areas' outside of the West notably in Asia. Obviously all of this is dynamic but to present it as a 'done deal' because we have made a decision, especially as 'humanity' is ridiculous. And pre-emptive bitching about downvotes is not something to expect from an account as old as yours.
Who said it’s a done deal in the future, things can change. I would personally ban cars, Taxi, Uber etc in NYC, but that’s currently a minority opinion.
Also there are a few bike friendly areas inside the US, it’s just uncommon.
Also, it’s a bike friendly thread. I am well aware of the audience reading the post, the point was to encourage discussion rather than unthinking reflexive action.
