For decent bicycle commuting it has to be more than a glorified sidewalk, though.
A cyclist zipping along at 15 mph - 18 mph cannot be mixed with walkers, dogs on extendable leashes, kids, and other hazards.
Drivers benefit because that is one less car on the road creating traffic delays.
I have a friend who commutes a total of 28 miles daily via bicycle for 80% of the week. He drives one day to resupply his locker with clothes and toiletries for the next week.
It is a pretty successful model in his situation.

Sounds like it. I would have needed a showever, or lots of extra-strength toiletries ;-)
