I'm not against infrastructure to support walking and/or cycling. I'm an avid cyclist. I thoroughly believe people will bike/walk more if there is support for it in their neighborhood. But is it serving as a car replacement for those people? I'd wager not due to a variety of factors. But I'd be curious if there was evidence it was for any significant percentage of them.

How could it not be? What kind of evidence would you want to see? There are certainly other factors that affect changes in car ownership rates, but the ease (or otherwise) of making journeys by other means must surely have an impact at the margin.
