What's better in a city: A car or a bike?
There's an old argument that suggests bike lanes are bad for local businesses because only a car makes it convenient enough for people to make multiple stops at local businesses to spend their hard-earned money.

I time both journeys with a stopwatch. Which urban vehicle do you think will be faster and more efficient?
