I don't share the same world travel experience that you have...
As previously pointed out, I suspect that the wackiest advice/pronouncement on the ease/practicality of running a household/family life, to include daily transportation of children/shopping, through the exclusive use of bicycles and public transportation is being given by boys and men who have no living experience with dependent children and possibly no woman partner.
Likely, their unrealistic/impractical advice is based on extrapolations from their bachelor life experience at college or the Village or some similar non-typical family environment; or from third hand info gleaned from Internet blogs.
