Riding is very popular when the weather is good. The buses are well-used.
Way back in my college days I chose to ride a bike rather than drive my car for the same reason. My buddy would leave my house with his car while I rode my bike. After finding a parking spot then walking to class, he almost always arrived after I did. His father, visiting at the time, observed this and threatened to take his car and buy him a bike.
