> What if it is raining?
Then you get wet. You're not made of sugar, you'll be fine.
> What about when it is too far away to arrive without being sweaty?
Then you'll be sweaty for 10 minutes until it dries. If more people bike, you'll have an easy time convincing your employer to provide showers.
> What if it is too cold to be outside for long?
Pedal faster. It will warm you up and you you won't be outside as long. Double win. Also, wear appropriate clothing. Unless we're talking about Winnipeg or something where you get frostbite within 5 minutes, cold air will not hurt you.
> What if you need to take a child with you? Or two people from out of town? What about bringing back furniture from ikea? How do you leave the city and go out to the surrounding area?
Zipcar or other car-sharing services if you absolutely need a car. Uber and Lyft are also options. They make child seats for bikes and special bikes that can easily carry 2 small children.
> What if you need to get somewhere faster than a bike can take you?
For any bikeable distance in a city, the bike is almost always faster than driving.
