A thirty minute stroll from home to the office could be considered a net benefit, in all honesty.

When I had the option of a 25 minute drive or a 35 minute bicycle ride I took the bicycle all the time. Exercise, sunlight, and the joy of passing stuck motorists in the bicycle lane.

Sightseeing feels also different, in a better way, when cycling or walking than when using a car.

I have 15-20 comfortable train ride followed by a 15 minute stroll. It's pretty relaxing... If I'm in a hurry I can use a bike share to bike from the train station to the office but that's less relaxing since you have to watch out for cars...

In a Mediterranean climate, yes.
