I think that would have made a huge difference... just showcase how literally none of these concerns are relevant with a bicycle.

Well technically some parking space and asphalt might be needed. And the odd snail or small snake may get hit by bicycles, and tires still shed particles off of bikes, but the scale is vastly different in comparison to cars.

Yeah I suppose that's the point. There is no world without cars entirely, but we can certainly deprioritize them drastically

there's no world without cars, but there's also no world without tractors, and i have literally never seen anyone give even the slightest shit about tractors aside from when they're stuck behind one on the road, which is kind of hilarious because even then the problem is cars as any smaller vehicle could just pass the tractor.
