Unnecessary: You're going a mile and a half. It's a sunny day. You own a working bicycle, or have the time to make it a walk. You're of able body.
That's a pretty tame version, really. Today, in this cold nasty rain, I biked the four miles to work, the three miles to school, the three miles back to work, and the four miles home again. For these four trips, I found an automobile absolutely unnecessary. Do I expect everyone to do the same? No. Is it fair for me, and others who care about the air we breathe, the safety of our streets, the economic evils of petroleum, etc., to expect those who can leave the car parked back home to do so once in awhile? I don't think it is. Consider it a plea to civic virtue.
