It's always easy to criticize people we don't know personally. I know I am guilty of it. If you were some stranger driving down my street I might well think some bad thoughts about you. >_< But I know you on LJ and know that you have started cycling so I can appreciate and encourage your efforts. I drive occasionally and almost always alone so I'm I get a few hate vibes sent my way because those strangers don't know that I mostly travel by bike in the winter and even give up the car entirely over the summer.
Keep looking around for ways to drive less. A detachable bike trailer can greatly expand biking opportunities because you can carry lots of groceries or a duffel bag of sports equipment. Even without a trailer you can still do major grocery shopping by making it a family outing and everyone fills their knapsacks and panniers. Keep prodding your elected officials for better public transit.
