I think the best kept secret of cycling is the convenience of it. Never have to find a place to park, the ride itself is exercise so no need to go to the gym, the ride itself is refreshing and can help with your mental health, no metal cage to isolate you from your environment, so you have a chance to actually connect with your community. Too cold, windy, and wet? You invest in some proper clothes, and you change when you get somewhere. Cars are expensive. What I think of when I think of the inconvenience of cars is their cost, and how that translates into how many hours of my life I give up to pay for them. If riding a bike all year also meant getting two months off every year from work every year (or just pocket/invest in the money you saved with car ownership/upkeep/taxes/gas), would you do it?
