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.
