Maybe i've read somewhere that they will be looking to implemet.
And as a bike commuter I would like to see this, it would be great!

It was in dev diaries. Yeap, this will almost surely be implemented, there simply wasn't enough time.
Why would I want to lose precious lanes to bicycles? Mandatory bike lanes are already causing more congestion in the USA. One lane road near my home is overcrowded. They do the work to make it two lanes, traffic finally flows for a few days. Then they paint in one on each side as a bicycle lane, restoring the congestion.
Because bikes are more space-efficient than a car.
How much space is needed for 50 ppl.
Bikes are far more efficient on distances up to 15-20 km.
I totaly agree!
I come from The Netherlands and about 70% of all people use bikes here every day!
To pick up groceries, go to school, go to work, go to the station, etc. etc.
If you make the bicycles behave like they do in Amsterdam, than 80% will not stop at red traffic lights. The other 20% are probably tourists.
Picture of the bicycle parking garage next to the Amsterdam Central Station with a capacity of 2500 bikes
Bicycle paths are build everywhere in the country. In Eindhoven they even build a special bicycle roundabout

If you thing that garage is enought, this is a picture from the other side. And I have never seen so many bikes on one spot before.
Yes please.

Please note: This is not me plugging a certain Youtube channel, I'm not associated. They just happen to have a few good videos.

You have not been to Groningen, there the bike parking has a capacity of almost 10.000.
It's not just the Dutch, but the Danes as well:

I'd love to build cities like this in the game as well.
