I used to cycle 7 km to work, but now, after moving to suburban village, there is no way to go other way than car. Especially with small kid. Unless you are fit enough to do 25 km every day by bike and risk your life (and potentially kid's) on the street between cars. So no, there is not realistic to "fuck cars". I am speaking from European perspective, probably US has the car things much more fucked up.

I don't think you realise how much you've been fucked by car. I presume you move out to the suburb not because the city council decided to exile you and never let you stay in the city, you move out because you have a car and can drive 20+km toward your destination, which then mean everything is so out of your way you have to use car to do everything. So no, you're the one that got fucked by motonormativity and yell "cum inside", you don't get to then deny everyone a better solution.

but they're not handicap friendly... public transport serves a purpose... edit: I'm not saying keep using cars, I'm saying get more trains and rail... and then free up space for more bike lanes whatever
