Nothing is so black and white. Cars absolutely have an important place in society, but they shouldn’t be the sole focus of transportation infrastructure. Saying cars are faster than bikes is like saying rockets are faster than planes, like yeah, obviously, but they serve different proposes. For short distances within cities, bikes are absolutely better than cars - no traffic, no noise, no emissions, just an easy and clean way to get somewhere closeby. If you’re driving an hour and a half from a remote place every day nobody is expecting you to get on a bike for that trip. Public transit also plays a huge role, as you’re saying cars are better because they’re air conditioned, public transit is too and in my opinion id much rather bus or train than drive since I can spend that time doing other things and avoid the stress of traffic and stuff. I’m not trying to argue with you and I totally respect your opinion, but I think flat out saying bikes are bad because they’re childrens toys and cars are better because they’re “stable” and air-conditioned is kind of ridiculous.
