That&#x27;s very cultural I think, not really inherent. My impression from living in Copenhagen from some years is that bikes <i>in that context</i> are somewhat more inclusive than cars, though neither is perfect. (I personally mostly used a mixture of walking + transit.)<p>Families with two kids use bikes all the time [1], and the median bicyclist is a middle-aged office commuter, not a 25-year-old single person. Mobility scooters are also permitted in bike lanes (and you see them fairly often), which further expands the inclusiveness of bicycle infrastructure.<p>[1] These are popular among families: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;livingcph.dk&#x2F;wp-content&#x2F;uploads&#x2F;2014&#x2F;10&#x2F;christiania.jpg" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;livingcph.dk&#x2F;wp-content&#x2F;uploads&#x2F;2014&#x2F;10&#x2F;christiania.j...</a>
