Yep. I've said it before. The one big trick that I think cycling advocacy has yet to address well is that of keeping the people those who already are on bicycles riding into the future. These are mainly the kids. When I was a kid, the bike was the primary form of transportation and fetching rides was the alternative form of transportation.
