If all children's (geared and break-pad) bikes were banned and everyone rode fixies (adult bikes), then we wouldn't need any of the polarising debate over 'bike infrastructure'. We wouldn't need to slow down traffic through cities or dig up roads and pavements, everyone would be a lot safer and bikes could flow freely among cars.

Is it finally time for governments around the world to ban geared bikes (at least for people above the age of say, 10) and give up on the idea of seperate bike and car infrastructure, letting all modes of transport to flow freely among eachother?
