    Because every bike is a car off the road. Every car off the road is a car out of your way.

    Or a mitigation against the climate apocalypse, take your pick.

      Also because cars create a huge number of negative externalities that impose additional costs on society as a whole. Pollution, climate damage, accidents, wear and tear on roads and other infrastructure, increased public transit costs because transit has to contend with traffic, etc. As someone who does drive, I absolutely should be made to pay for those costs.
