The fact is goes as far as as fast as you can isn't really a good thing. Also collisions are more likely to kill you.

...aaand we're back to adjusting our speed to suit the circumstances.
Cities are inhospitable, but mostly because they're built around 1 tonne death traps as opposed to other means of transport

Cause you can't actually GO anywhere on a bike. If you want to go somewhere 200 miles away for a week, it'd take a day and a half each way, minimum, and you can't bring anything with you bigger than a backpack. It's also physically strenuous to go literally anywhere, even the places you are allowed to go.
cities should look like this: bicycle/walking paths, trains, trams and buses. and a tiny road for the rare occasion you actually NEED a car. boom, problems solved. also mixed use zoning, rezone every city so it's more compatible with a non car centric lifestyle
Also, bad weather is a major pain in the ass on a bicycle, but only a minor inconvenience in a car
