i think he is just imagining a scenario where people cycled everywhere they feasibly and comfortably could, and kept the cars in their garages unless they 'needed' them. a lot of people drive places when they could ride their bikes because they just don't have the knowledge or motivation to get on a bike. if that changed, i'm sure infrastructure would follow suit. for instance, the city of bristol is currently undergoing a multi-million pound upheaval of their road system to make it super cycle friendly. i really believe that cycling will be the future. sure, people will still drive, but think how it has exploded exponentially in recent years? i don't think that nick dewar was imagining a land where cars were left to rot in piles, just a time where people are a little more cognisant of their actions.
