No, most people do it because its an easy, cheap and quick way to get around town, not for any green reason. The bicycle has been a great way to get around long before anyone knew about emissions, the problem is that the people representing cyclists dont necessarily mirror the views of the majority of cyclists.
No one gives a shit if a cyclist consumes more or less than a fat guy on a bus, and no one cares if a bike takes up more or less space on the road.
What we care about is that we can ride around safely, in a well designed environment.
