Agreed, we need more PSAs extolling the virtues of walking, riding a bike. Like how it's good for the environment, how it's good individual's economy, i.e. the money that they save by not driving their car everywhere. They could save enough to take a nice vacation somewhere, or to buy a really good bike. Or a really good bike and a really good bicycling kit and//or accessories and/or tools.
We need employers who encourage their employees to ride or walk to work instead of taking their car.

When everything looks like a nail, it is hard not to reach for a hammer. We've designed our cities around the car... so folks naturally use the car. Time to back off a bit on that trend. Cars have their place... it's just not "everywhere."
It's gonna take generations to undo what it took generations to build up.

We also need spaces to encourage folks to do anything but drive... large open pedestrian centers; good connectivity for bikes; walkways that go to shopping areas.

Who besides yourself, the late Bruce Rosar, and unspecified "advocates" ever use the stilted phrase "bicycle driving" vice bicycling or riding a bicycle when talking to anyone but themselves'? Don't believe I have ever seen that phrase used in any medium except a few Internet discussion lists where you and Bruce have posted this term.

It's a grassroots shift; the larger institutions are slowly following the lead of LCIs and other cyclists in this terminology.

I haven't noticed anyone representing a larger institution or writing/speaking in mainstream media using the new LCI/VC Buzz Word phrase for riding a bike.
Doubt if any ever will, unless they are quoting a "grassroots" brand LCI.

I had a non-cyclist coworker ask me if I drove my bike to work one day earlier this week. Maybe "bicycle driving" is starting to catch on!

Granted a handful of LCI's and Vehicular Cyclists posting on the Internet use the term Bicycle Driving vice Vehicular Cycling, preferring a stilted awkward term presumably in order to escape the dark shadow of being associated with John Forester.

Since "motorcycle riding" is a much more commonly used term than "motorcycle driving" I think we know what the natural limits of the language use will be. Note that the Commute Orlando site does not make significant, if any, use of either "bicycle driving" or "vehicular cycling;" they focus on confidence and performance issues more than paradigm issues while leading to the same conclusions as the "bicycle driving" advocates.
