So you hear everyone harping about why you should ride a bike versus driving a car or taking public transportation. Better for the environment, better for your body, yadda yadda. As they say, the proof is in the pudding. Here's a little "pudding" for you. The image below demonstrates the amount of Bromptons folding bicycles you could fit in the amount of space it takes to hold a single car.

This image shows the amount of space needed for the same amount of people to take a car, bus, or bike. It doesn't take a rocket science to see which makes the most sense.

In a world where the population continues to grow (7 billion people by 2010, remember) our natural resources continue to dwindle, our environment continues to suffer and the global temperature rises, it seems like this may be an extremely simple and efficient solution for individual transportation.

Can you ride a bike with a broken leg? I can't and it turns out I still have to go places, I guess earth will have to deal with it.
