Still, even if this is selfish and hypocritical, it can be harnessed - transportation is all about "if you build it they will come". If people support the development of alternative transport, it will get used. The biggest obstacle is people demanding that all the transport funding goes to building roads and parking lots, if we can defeat that mentality by telling people it will make the roads better for them, thats good.

It is not completely true. Sometimes a critical mass is required. I'd be happy to bike to work. It is not a very long commute and the exercise would do wonders to my sedentary self. Though, I will not risk my life to the maniacs on the road.[1] A few people do, but many don't, so no cyclist lane is going to get build that I could use. [1] Cyclist like to say it is more the perception than reality. Still, one pedestrian or cyclist per week get killed in this town, by public transportation alone.
