Now, do people ride bikes in Dallas and commute via bicycle? Yes. They sure do. Be aware though that they must make alot of very tactical decisions regarding their overall safety. Dallas car drivers are crazy.
Weather is great for riding. Winter and summer are not bad at all. There might be 10-15 days in the winter when riding stinks, same with the summer when the heat can get punishing. Otherwise its quite nice.
I walk to/from work every single day. I know/see lots of people walking in Dallas.
I ride in Dallas, as do many of my friends, and hundreds (or even thousands) of other cyclists that I don't know.
My friends and I rarely have any negative interactions with the car driving public.
Dallas is becoming very bike friendly, as has been mentioned above.
Dallas drivers are no crazier than any other drivers I've dealt with in the 3 other states in which I've lived.
