I'm in Boston and even here my bike gets me places faster than my car, at least between 8-10am and 4-7pm. Traffic is such a killer to car speed. Right now at 3pm, Google Maps tells me that my 6-mile commute home by car would be 32-39 minutes. By bike it's 39-41 minutes for a 7-mile ride. During rush hour, the bike really wins. What makes biking uncomfortable here is that you really have to be alert. A lot of roads don't have good space for bikes and cars can be really aggressive, even if they're just racing toward the next light. Cars just don't move through cities fast when there's traffic. Plus, parking here is just a nightmare.
