Isn't it as likely that hipster bikers of today will grow into adults with cars like their parents did? "Our generation is different and our trends will last forever" doesn't have a great track record of panning out.
Maybe, maybe not. My friends and I are all pushing 40, most don't own cars (including some of the people with kids, mind), several of us don't even have licenses.
Like I said, the world changes. We got to this autoist-centric world slowly and through a lot of policy choices, and we'll move away from it the same way.
Many generations have changed to adopt newer forms of transit than the previous generations. I'm pretty sure the pony express doesn't run anymore. Did you think we would never change forms of transit again? http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2015/01/16/t...
