True for me, and like many posters I'm also in the Bay area. Even though my commute is tiny (3 miles each way), the time it takes is a wash. By bike there's a trail I can take which is nonstop. By car the variance is much higher, depending on traffic, which stop signs are red, etc. I suspect that the bike would win for my old commute (5x longer), where I'd hit congested highways every single day. Slow and steady beats stop and go.
