People below you just continue the circlejerk, but I’ll address you directly. Yes, if we throw a ton of effort at training drivers to also use bikes, and expect this effect to hold as strong outside a study environment - it could work. People really do just ignore bikers though. Even bikers did it.

Your logic is pretty silly. By that same beat we must really like work and paying taxes. I dont know any ‘car centrists’ in my daily, but maybe you do.

Literally this, but unironically, and less stupid 🤣

They’ve done studies with motorcycles and a big problem we need to overcome is: For some reason our brains ignore people on bikes sometimes. It sounds silly but it’s a real thing I promise. I support anything anti car related, but any Bike lane shouldn’t come within 50 ft of a road cars use. The mainstream trend of all cars bad lends too much ammunition to the pro car crowd. It’s not pretty or satisfying but it’s true. It’s a nash equilibrium and there’s only so much we can do.

Edit: Just putting this here for google. Working towards a car free world is going to be a ton of work. Our efforts here are focused on appeasing the car centrists. I want independent bike lanes away from heavy machinery and toxic exhaust chemicals. I want the cars we do have to use, relegated to roads where their bulk and fumes aren’t affecting anyone. Picking a fight with anyone not towing the party line is stupid, and should be below this community.
