I don’t see much talk about that self-evident fact. Asphalt sucks in so many ways. What would be a better alternative that needs not worry about cars but mostly bicycles?

    Biking on pavement takes less effort, and pavement is also more suitable for things like wheelchairs and strollers.

    Paved streets have existed for thousands of years before cars; there’s nothing wrong with them in and of themselves. It’s building them too wide in order to try to accommodate ever-increasing car traffic that’s the problem.
