It's a backlash against the sheer anger and disgust exhibited by drivers towards people choosing human powered transport. And its about greener environmental choices.

It's all those reasons and more. Am I disgusted by car culture and its fume spewing sloth? Yes.

Heck, I own a car, and I hate myself for the sheer wastfulness of it all. I'm a self loathing, (virtually) non-driving, car owner.
