My favorite thing is to compare 100 cars on a city block vs 100 bikes. If you have roughly 1.4 people per American car, your 100 cars are going to stretch blocks. 100 people on bikes would easily fit into a block or less, especially when people can bike 3+ in a row and dozens in a column.

The space and weight savings are insane. Which also means less tax dollars spent on repairing road damage. It saves you money and makes the city quieter.
