It happened already in the big cities like Shanghai and Beijing. Not EVERYBODY has an automobile, but the few that have them took over the roads. The car drivers just drive in the bicycle lanes en-masse and take it over.

And you are correct, compaired to the days without cars, Beijing and Shanghai are disasters.
