99% ?
there are many global cities with cycling mode share past 10%, or 10x more than your broad generalization. most are in europe or asia of course, but even in the US there are cities in the 5% range (5x your estimate) and those numbers have been going up.
i’m all for higher gasoline prices. less people driving (or people driver less far) is better for the environment, global affairs, health, AND for cyclists who are actually riding bikes.
