“Bikes vs. Cars” upends the commonly-held notion that traffic is just a necessary or natural facet of urban life, that cars are the most rational choice for getting around, or that cycling and pedestrian deaths are an unavoidable consequence of multi-modal transportation.
In LA, a city which was once home to the world’s most sophisticated public transportation system and North America’s first bike highway, we see a city so choked by automobiles that its residents can barely even get across town. Was this an accident, fate, the natural progression of things? Or was it decades of investment by the auto and oil industries to phase out public transportation in order to sell cars? Evidence points to the latter.
