I've argued that, from a viewpoint of pure selfishness, drivers should be supporting bicycle lanes and mass transit. After all, every person on a bicycle or a bus/train is one less person on the road in front of you.
Now comes along a writer who supports my viewpoint.
Every additional trip we take on foot, on a bicycle or by public transit frees up significant space for drivers, since the “footprints” of these other modes are so much smaller. The cyclist beside you is not the car in front of you; the bicycle locked to a ring at curbside means one less parking space is taken.
