It's not just the emissions. Cycling advocates will tell you that motorists do not pay the full cost of the infrastructure they use. They are subsidized by non-motorists, such as cyclists who do not own cars. It's not the cyclist getting a free ride, it's the motorist!
And the costs don't even include the monumental health care expenses required to address victims of collisions of autos.
