Why not both? One shouldn't preclude the other, but it is a Chicken v Egg thing. There's often tremendous pushback locally against building out cycling infrastructure when there's the perception that there's not enough cyclists to take advantage of said infrastructure. It's dumb, but I've seen this firsthand in both NYC and the Twin Cities. Giving someone the ability to easily maintain 20mph certainly does make it easier to take advantage of a lot of the existing infrastructure, though.
