I don't see much talk about that self-evident fact. Asphalt sucks in so many ways. What would be a better alternative that needs not worry about cars but mostly bicycles?

What the hell are you talking about... Asphalt is such an ideal surface for cycling that it was a national cycling club which started and led the public campaign to make it the default road surface.

Asphalt roads are literally cyclist-gotten gains. Let's not throw out the baby with the bath water!

OP hates cars so much that they even see asphalt as an evil.

I sure do but my loathing of asphalt is as sovereign and self-sustainable 👉👈

Sea shells in parks and bricks in denser areas also work pretty well

NCC recommends installing devil's horns as a handlebar and bitumen is demons' cum. There's no way around this, infinitesunrise, you maker of arguments™. I'm sorry.
