    Just off the top of my head:

    • It’s cheaper
    • It’s fun
    • You get exercise
    • It affords you some flexibility
    • You get lower transportation emissions

      Its not cheaper if it can’t replace my car, it’s much much more expensive.

      I already have a fleet of bikes for exercise and recreation. I don’t actually use them for transportation because its unsafe and takes 10x longer to do things and I don’t want them to get stolen.

      I already have a very efficient electric sedan so my transport emissions are very minimal.
