Commuting by bike is of course a good thing, but of course saying that everyone should do it and rearrange their lifestyle to do it is going to ruffle some feathers.

I don't particularly like driving, but I like riding in traffic even less. I'm a chicken. And while I liked being able to walk to places and not having to pay for parking, gas and insurance, it was pretty inconvenient not to have a car at times. We looked into the car-sharing program when we were living in Cleveland, and there were so many ridiculous fees and things that it wasn't worth it at all.
