from your letter:
   As a bicyclist, I am nostalgic for a return to the
   clean air and safety that must have been ubiquitous without cars on
   those streets.

Somehow, I can't imagine that in a world with coal and wood heat that the
air quality would have been all that great.  And I can't imagine the horse
based pollution would have been all that pleasant either.
