Even better:
Start a movement to build robust cycling infrastructure.
They'll start putting ads in the bike lanes
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Just you wait. You'll see "This bike lane brought to you by Chevrolet" in under a decade.
"Asphalt by BP-Oil!"
A few more people would probably use bikes, but I don't see how this solves the issue, no matter how good the cycling infrastructure we won't see cars and gas stations just disappear. I suspect I don't see the goals as you intend them, but I don't see people dropping there kids off at school on bikes or biking to and from a restaurant to eat a steak dinner, not to mention city services and transportation. If your target is really emissions I'd suspect that electric cars and limiting private jets would make more progress.
