  • Fast cycling isn’t really compatible with walkable culture. It needs some level of infrastructure for separation (lanes, lights, crossings, etc) to prevent collisions. I don’t understand the fascination with fast cycling for anything except for sports, exercise or long distance travel.

    Slow cycling and walking don’t need any such infrastructure and that’s commonly considered as a walkable area. It brings roughly 1 km radius in a 5-10 minute zone and that’s enough area for at least 60-70% of required facilities (school, police station, fire station, hospital, groceries, bakery, shopping, transit stops).
