Is this sarcasm? There's a lot of precedent for people living lives mostly on bike, where I live in the Northeast US the car ownership rate is about 50% among my peer group. I own a car but find it easier to do most errands by bike. I suspect that there are other issues with your environment that prevent people from successfully using cycling as a normal transit mode, assuming you're from the US or Canada, it's likely that distances are too great, or that despite bike lanes, common trips require biking along highway speed traffic.
