My town has a "bike path" (multi use, motor vehicles banned) that is a just over 5km loop around a golf course that gets tons of use for recreation. (And doesn't meaningfully connect anything, one entrance is by the bus garage/golf course on the dege of town and the other is by an apartment complex on the edge of town) I think its safe ro say that people will gladly bike 5km if its safe and comfortable even without a destination. (And the stats for a place like the Netherlands is much further, but the average adult can go 10km without getting winded) Tldr, people will bike for for miles so extend that good separated/multi use path as far as you reasonably can and it will be used.

@xaviercopeland2789 thats kinda the point, make transit more appealing than cars for most trips. Obviously if all you do is nuke parking it won't go over well, so the key part is make better transit so we can then kick cars out of urban cores where they litterally don't fit. (Said by a car owner who knows their value)
