I ride to work days I can, motorcycle the days I can't, only drive when I have to haul stuff or carry passengers.

But main drawbacks are:

1) No showers, makes formal attire impractical or downright rude
2) Auto drivers are largely bike-oblivious, if not downright bike-hostile
3) Commute society and typical scheduling often creates long distances between adjacent appointments, which requires motorized transport.
