Cycling can never be the complete answer (weather, etc.), but there's no reason it can't be a big chunk of it (30% of all trips in the Netherlands). It's also cheap to build compared to mass transit

I agree that transit is ultimately the most important.

Mass transport should be bike (or it's advanced-tech equivalent) friendly. Not just 1 or 2 spots on a bus/train, but many or all spots should allow bikes.

Then it won't be a question of mass transit vs. bikes but both together - that'd make a bunch of more commute options workable for me.

In addition, organizing our spaces and our lives such that trips are shorter and/or less frequent.
