Distance isn't the only factor. You need to consider if the place you are biking actually has proper bike lanes separate from cars to actually make it safe. I'd love to ride a motorcycle or bike, but I am not interested in risking my life with the drivers in my country.

And something you may realize is that in some countries being able to live close enough to even consider biking is for those who are in situation of financial privilege or sacrificing financially given the higher costs of rent and home ownership. Not all people live far away because they want to, but because they have to and keep getting pushed further and further out to find more affordable living conditions.

That's fair. Cars are unfortunately the only solution in some cases. Thanks for the insight.
