Yes, it's:

* Not possible on non-level terrain (although e-bikes are sometimes an option).

* Potentially dangerous in some places because of traffic.

* Some places will not be accessible by bike due to various physical obstacles

* Requires some level of physical health (although you don't have to be fit to ride a bike)

but still, it's a decent solution for many of those towns without a public transport system. And if you can get your municipal authorities to support it, you can address the second and third points above.
