"The bicycle network is developed to facilitate a generational shift, where 'seed points' (this is a network science term) are first at kindergartens, and the nearest parks, shops, and homes. The trips between these destinations may be called 'care trips', and stand in contrast to commuter trips. In following years, seed points are spread to pre-schools, schools, high schools, and later at universities and employment hubs. (Yes, I know this is missing stations. I didnt know where to put it. This is a weakness of the model, which makes it wrong, but I'll argue it's still useful)  
  
I wish to credit Szell et al's 2022 paper "Growing Urban Bicycle Networks". This is a network science paper, from which us non-network scientists learn the useful term 'seed point'. Interestingly, this model departs from that paper by choosing very different seed points. And more interestingly still, the seed points in that paper are chosen to be in accordance with the recommendations in the famous Dutch CROW manual, which argues to focus on "areas of interest", such as transit hubs, shopping centers etc - in other words, it omits the recommendation of approaching it as a generational strategy."
