Everyone is not you. Can it be done? Sure. SHOULD it be done by a cross-section of the populous?

  I don't see why it couldn't be done by almost anyone given that they live close enough to work. Anything less than 10 miles is doable assuming you have a good route.

      Will power is a capability most people are lacking in, so I guess you are right. Most people have the physical ability, though few realize it.

  Maybe proper bike infrastructure could increase the number of bicycle-commuters from ten percent to thirty percent. Think of all the space you could have for your car if there were twenty percent fewer cars in front of you.
