I use bike to go everywhere. It is a prefect solution:

1. Cheap

2. Takes very little space

3. Good for health

4. In a dense city almost as fast as a car; sometimes faster

For people who doubt biking is possible. In Finland there is a city near arctic circle called Oulu with population of around 100 000 people. They have 2h of day light in winter. Temperatures often go to -10 degrees centigrade. And 22% of all trips are done by bikes. Including children going to primary schools.
