Conservative transit advocate and social critic William Lind has just weighed in on bicycling, fuel shortages, and prudence - the highest conservative political virtue. "Prudence" as in assuming there will be fuel shortages.and thus making serious plans for utilizing means of access other than a two-three ton motorized exoskeleton per humanoid. His is one of the most unflinching of assessments of Happy Motoring I've ever seen:

I believe cars and bicycles are inanimate objects. Therefore a more useful assumption about causality would be to say, "People who chose to drive / drove people who wanted to bicycle / off the roads." Another conservative virtue is to insist that we-the-people shoulder responsibility rather than outsourcing it.
