There are people who don't know how to ride the bike. Shocking, I know, it was for me too. It might work in SoCal, but in temperate climates in winter, biking through ice, snow, and sludge is a non-starter for most. I, personally, don't do it during the summer either, because I sweat a lot and there is no shower at my workplace. Bikes get stolen all the time. The bikes stationed throughout the city for rent are heavy, with low centre of gravity and have only 3 gears.
