I can carry a whole lot more stuff on the bike more comfortably (and more safely for the stuff) than I can on my feet.

Really, 3/4 mile is about my limit of walking for transport, if I have the option to bike.
I wear street clothes on the commuter. But if it's going to be longer or sweatier, I make sure it's something I can wash easily and that doesn't reek when I arrive.
