I like Atlanta. I lived there for 7-8 years.
People in Atlanta drive because the urban planning is a disaster.
San Juan Puerto Rico -- it is the same. I live 8 miles from my job, 15 minutes by car, 1.5 hours by bus due to poor public transportation.
Biking would be faster than cars which get stuck in sever traffic and that buses which don't run very often.

It is not possible to commute by bicycle since it is illegal to bike along the expressway - the only way to get between Carolina (where I live) and Isla Verde (the next town over).
It has its origins in the 1950's when the expressway was brand new and led to job creation. Nobody dreamed bicycles could be taken seriously as a means to get to work.
I once biked it... about 10 miles in about a 1 hour.
