If towns started to go more into cycling, the towns would start to shrink. For example, ten parking spaces would fit twenty bikes. Add a bike rack that would hold eleven bikes. The rack I found is 9ft 3in (2.8m) wide, and a normal parking space is about 9ft (2.7m). This ends up showing how ten parking spaces will fit nine, eleven bike bike racks. Roads would be cut in half, and parking lots would end up decreasing. The more people also start cycling the less pollution gets into the air, and more scenery is open. This can lead to more natural surroundings like trees and grass. I understand some people might find what I am saying stupid, but I would like to hear what everyone else thinks about what I said. Do you think more bike oriented towns is a good or bad idea? Of course cars still have there pros so taking cars completely out of the picture isn't the best idea, but mostly out in my opinion seems like a good idea.
