   True, true. I've said here: I wouldn't ride a bike in NYC other than   
   for fun. I walked and walked there.   
      
   What I'm saying is that walking is not practical in the urban sprawl.   
   There are other options besides the bike though:

   Not always you are ready to sweat, sometimes you need to have fun.   
   What you do not need is to take a behemoth to the local store. But   
   most people still drive an SUV, not a bike or scooter.   
      
   These electric scooters are dead cheap and seem to be a lot of fun. I   
   want to buy one myself because the purpose of life is to have fun. ;)
