Our world is built up of roads and cars to get us to our destination! But what about cycling and even walking? Have we been brainwashed to think that the car is always king?

It's crazy to me that some people think bicycles are more dangerous than cars. Can you cause harm on a bike? Sure, but it's way harder than with a car, where it's basically the default.

I don't think its people being stupid, but just being comfortable and going with least resistance and in turn accepting car-centric ideas as the norm
