Of course. This is why VC alone will never lead to more than 1% of the country choosing the bicycle as a means of transportation. Every bike friendly city in the past 50 years has followed the same formula: reduce and restrict the automobile while increasing bike and public transport infrastructure. It's a proven, workable formula that's seen success all over Europe. Most "serious" cyclists in the US, however, insist on trying to push the square wheel of vehicular cycling. And unsurprisingly, we continue to fail each year while other cyclists in other countries follow the blueprint and take back their cities from the automobile. Our loss.
