Good article. This bit is what's getting to me the most:
Yes, the car is still useful – for a few people it’s essential. It would make a good servant. But it has become our master, and it spoils everything it touches.
It's just the fact that they are everywhere, constantly. Every city completely divided up to make way for them. It's mad (except when I'm driving my car, when it becomes completely necessary obviously).

Looks like cycling is actually the worst in terms of particles per minute, it's just a bit quicker so less time breathing in pollution.
Wonder if train (not tube) is any better. Generally the rails are away from traffic and surrounded by a bit of greenery.
