It would probably be worthwhile to design cities to encourage this: to design cities to be fast to get around by bicycle. How do you do that? We know how to encourage cycling in an existing city. But if you were designing a new city to be optimal to cycle in, what would you do?https://twitter.com/asymco/status/1118530522144235521 …

IMO college campuses already provide a great model: have wide concrete / paved paths that can be used by important vehicles (ambulances, box trucks, etc.) but where it's made clear that they're not intended for use by personal vehicles.

Amsterdam seems intentionally optimized for bikes, with skinny roads for cars, and fat bike lanes. The primacy of the bike lanes is obvious, and everyone bikes everywhere there. The city is also arranged radially.

imo just as cruise ships have dedicated highways for delivering baggage, maybe underground rail network for food delivery
