I reckon the girl driving is a Muslim and the guy on the bike is a member of the NRA.
It's not just bikes they try and get rid of;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_American_streetcar_scandal
testimony was presented to a United States Senate inquiry into the causes of the decline of transit car systems in the US. This alleged that there was a wider conspiracy—by GM in particular—to destroy effective public transport systems in order to increase sales of automobiles and that this was implemented with great effect to the detriment of many cities.
They seem to have done the same in the UK over the same period. Not sure if there's a conspiracy there but all of our cities had trams and then they didn't and then a few recently have them again but on a much smaller scale. The deregulation of the buses in the 1980s coincided with the greedy years and car sales took off exponentially.
