This frames the issue the wrong way. There is no such thing as "bike people" and "car people" each of their own tribe fighting against each other. This view is promoted by people who benefit from the status quo and use it as a divide and conquer strategy.
Reality is that most people own a car and choose to cycle some of the time, either themselves or one of their family members (e.g. kids, or on the weekends for exercise, or occasional trip downtown, etc).
I'm mostly a driver nowadays, but I still want safe biking lanes for my kids, university students, for recreation, etc.
