Quibble: all humans pollute (what happens to your waste? Where does your
food come from?), but some pollute to a greater extent than others.

As a bicycle commuter myself, I can commiserate with you. Automobiles in
general are a very energy-inefficient means of transporting people and
public transportation should be encouraged as a way (not the only way!)
to reduce overall energy consumption. A huge amount of resources are
dedicated to providing infrastructure to an automobile society. If we
can reduce dependence on automobiles not only will it become easier for
pedestrians and bicyclists, but money can be freed for other worthwhile
projects to make our urban areas safer for everybody.
