You should visit one of the university cities in the Netherlands, and then tell me if you’re still fine with cities designed around bike traffic.
Edit: this one’s on me for getting down voted. In my experience, if you go to the university cities, you have to have eyes in the back of your head as a pedestrian. There’s alway some cyclist coming from a random direction at high speed, ringing the bell and expecting you to give way (even in pedestrian zones). So as a cyclist it’s probably nice, as a pedestrian not so much.
My mostly car-centric university city is full of students drunkenly driving 2000kg missiles at 2-4x the speed of my 40kg ebike. Give me a visa and I’ll buy a house in one of your cities so that I can be safe and mad instead of just mad.
Imagine actually wanting to drive in a city where you can take a train, a bicycle, or just walk instead. Then, imagine being angry that it’s a bit less convenient than it would be in Shithole, California for you to flatten children with your 2000kg Americamobile. Couldn’t be me.
If you’re American, lmao. If you’re European, that’s even funnier.
do you actually have something to say or are you just impotently whining?
Edit: now that you actually explained what you were talking about, I actually agree with the pedestrian thing when cyclist are riding on sidewalks when there are bike lanes available for example.

Can you write down the problems you have with them? I’ve stayed in Copenhagen for a few weeks with a bike and it was lovely.
Already did, still fine with it.
