Yes sir let's all move back into caves, blow up hospitals, schools, hydro, gas and telephone lines. Down with progress and comfort. We will still have our bicycles.An argument could easily be made that the auto-centric culture of the past 50 years was a mere trend and a failed experiment.
I think that this resistance to the auto-centric culture is a recognition that building our cities for the car is unsustainable (both socially and from a transportation point of view) and that we're better off designing our cities for more efficient modes of transport (walking, biking, etc...), like we've been doing for thousands of years.
I don't think our ancestors have been riding bikes for thousands of years, cars have been around for over a hundred years not fifty.
