I feel the same way. Where I live, we don’t even have bike lanes. We don’t even have sidewalks. It would take about 15 miles of bike riding on narrow, rural roads, with broken asphalt, and no sidewalks just to reach an actual grocery store. The weather is also a factor. The high for next week is about 108F. Oh, and when I did try riding my bicycle, five years ago, for about 30 miles to a major city, I was chased by dogs.
If I lived in some place like Salt Lake City, or San Francisco, where I could combine a bike ride with major public transportation routes, I’d be fine, but that isn’t the case where I live.
