Exactly. No way is this competing with legs or a bicycle. Legs can go on sidewalks and are free. Bikes are way more portable, cheaper, have a higher top speed (for most people), don't make you look like a goober (depending on your lycra addiction) and have no range issues.

The best part about a bike is, you can go 25mph to the city center, and when you get to the pedestrian area, you just get off and walk. Park the bike or don't, it won't keep you from getting through the walkway. If you're too tired to get home, just put it on the front of a bus and ride home.

Problem is, bikes aren't cool.

You're just living in an uncool place.
