    you cant say that black is white and ask people to accept the conclusion. Bikes are great for personal travel but for example I carry equipment everywhere all over the country. Its not a solution unless your perspective is that I cant go to work, which is absurd.

      Most trips aren’t being taken by people carrying equipment to work. The good thing about promoting alternative methods of travel is that people who really need to drive (like yourself) aren’t hindered by those only driving as it’s the most convenient. Driving in the Netherlands is excellent partly because they have great cycling and public transport infrastructure.
