As a northern European, I can confirm. The nearest train station is a 10 minute bike ride from my house. From there the rest of my commute is a breeze. If I was to drive I'd be stuck in traffic much longer. And it's nice to get some fresh air to start the day. Only problem is the few months of snow.

I believe you that your commute is fine but I think you don’t understand how much Americans love convenience. How do I work a McDonalds drive through into that trip? Can yon get bikes with cup holders for a 32 ounce beverage?

Of course it’s not just Americans. I’ve got southern German friends who love the American car centric lifestyle.
