Of course! For running errands and local, day-to-day tasks the bicycle is of course the best vehicle :)
When it isn't icy, rainy, or too hot, or you need to transport cargo, or need to be presentable when you arrive, or aren't healthy enough...
Wow, that's a lot of caveats. I still end up biking a decent chunk, and travel with public transport a bit as well (thanks to student rebates), but my car is a frequently used necessity.
Exactly, even if people wanted to not everyone can afford to arrive all sweaty or wet carrying a giant backpack.
Assuming you live in a bike-friendly area. Bad biking infrastructure means you're basically risking your life every time you go out on one.
Good luck
I mean, a car wouldn't help in that situation either, so..
Good luck getting through that with any vehicle lol
