Try cycling once and see how you like it. It's a small investment, and you really don't know how it will go until you try it. It's not uncommon either to commute by bike one day a week if you like it but can't do it every day. I think most people are far too pessimistic about how possible cycling is. Though I do agree that cycling is practically impossible for many people, consider this: Just like most people consider their driving commute when choosing where to live, a cyclist needs to consider their cycling commute when choosing where to live. If you optimize for driving, don't expect cycling to be easy. The same applies for jobs: many people won't take a job if they expect the traffic to be a pain. I won't take any jobs that make cycling impossible or even hard. Exact same logic.
