My completely unfounded hypothesis is that a lot of these guys are just all sour grapes because they are in a position wherein they can't afford a car (or a motorcycle, or whatever). So they think everyone else should be miserable like them, too.
The environmental aspects I get, but I also get the feeling that's actually just a post-hoc rationalization to the whole no-personal-transportation sect.
I had three cars and a motorcycle at one point, though now I'm down to one car and a bicycle. But whatever makes you feel superior, I guess. Fuck the people with legitimate ideas to improve life and the environment.
