I think you will best convert others by example. I was converted to bike commuting by a co-worker who was just doing it. I thought it was a really cool, do-able thing. Eventually, I asked him a few questions and then decided I would like to try it myself.
Sometimes, co-workers will kind of expect you to "sell" them on the idea. Me, I just smile like it's a big secret and walk away.
