Let's talk about how a bicyclist's perspective is different
I'm the only bike commuter in my house of roommates, and simultaneously, I almost never leave the city and go to the country...because I don't have a car, but also I have more access to stores that they don't because going in and getting parking is a cinch compared to dealing with car traffic. Compared to my friends who walk on sidewalks primarily, I don't notice as much of the local stores, but everything is much closer.
