Thanks very much."  It would take a few things: 1. Higher fuel prices/taxes on fuel 2. City congestion tax (like London) w/bikes exempted 3. Marketing $$$ by the bike manufacturers and advocacy groups to communicate the benefits and real-world advantages of riding a bike “Very happy with transaction. Thanks very much.”
