I was reading an opinion that car culture is not the reason why people won't ride bikes; it's bike culture, which is filled with elitist douches of either the spandex or skinny jean varieties. I gotta agree with that. (Though, being run over by Muni also discourages me plenty, too.)
So, I think to myself, what would de-douche-ify bike culture sufficiently for your average-panted Joe or Jane? Answer: nuns on bikes. Who doesn't love this?

You look at a 70-year-old nun on a bike and you think, maybe, just maybe this is within your capabilities. Also, cars will be more watchful of cyclists with the threat of eternal damnation.
