Absolutely! I'm in DC, not NYC, but.. Driving means: walk 1-3 blocks to my car, drive it in slow(and extremely variable based on time) traffic, circle the block a half dozen times to find a parking space, probably having to pay. Biking on the other hand means: I walk outside, bike where I'm going at the same speed every day, and lock up when I get there. I've frequently beaten my friends when going places in the city and I have my bike and don't wanna leave it behind so I bike and they cab/drive.
