I love this idea.

What if cities implemented special routes that are cycle only routes.

They could make small roads that lead to popular parts of the city easily and safely bikeable.

God! I wish my roads were not so dangerous.

Netherlands does it all the time. Bikes are the main transport there.

This is the case in Finland as well

It takes so little effort to just create 2-3 routes going along each cardinal direction of a city if you compare it to normal road infrastructure, but it massively improves the cycling experience.
