    Depends how “city” you’re talking. If you’re in a large core, sure, but Canadian cities are sprawling enough you really need something faster in many urban areas (like public transit).

      That’s why I said most of the times. Anything under 10km can easily be done by bike, especially once you get used to it.

      I ride my bike to work every day and I do the ~5km on bike faster than by car, every single time

        Yep. It’s tough, though, since building is slow, and now that the infrastructure stretching way out is there it doesn’t make much sense to abandon it. Some cities are getting rid of stupid zoning laws at least.
