No I mean, what if the default vehicle that roads were designed for was the bicycle?

Everybody says the roads we have are fine. But I think that they are designed too much around a single type of use. Got me thinking, what if the default use they designed them around was bicycling? How would people who drive have to adapt? They'd probably be the ones cowering at the side of the road, don't you think? I'll betcha there'd be lots less 4-way stops and a lot more roundabouts. Drivers would have to figure out how to take the lane -- or take two lanes in their case -- without being yelled at. Things would be different.
