His is one of the most unflinching of assessments of Happy Motoring I’ve ever seen: http://www.amconmag.com/cpt/2011/01/03/mainstreaming-bicycles/ My only dispute with Mr. Lind is with his general assertion that “Cars also drove out bicycles”. 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.
