Stay away from the cities if you hate them so much! Let the people who live in them have the bikes, busses, trains and the like. Problem solved! Everyone's happy, it's a win win actually.
You've mentioned in another comment that cyclists make your rural life inconvenient. It's same with cities, your car's presence makes city dwellers' lives inconvenient. Are you willing to have a compromise that cyclists will not use the rural roads as long as you don't drive on city roads (I am only suggesting this because you wanted cyclists off the road)?
I also have to point out that you really speak like a guy who haven't watched any of the channels I mentioned. The problems you mentioned have been already solved elsewhere.
Your belief doesn't align with data. It's been shown time and time again that no matter how many lanes you add, congestion levels always return to original levels. On the other hand, when lanes are dedicated to buses and trams, congestion is reduced. But you must have known this already if you've watched NotJustBikes' video titled "The best country in the world for drivers"
