I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. It is dense here, comparable to a lot of non-capital European cities. However getting around by bike or public transportation is still impossible. I'd love to bike to work. 95% of my commute route is a single expressway, and even though it has tons of room on both sides, there is no bike lane. Instead I would have to make a multi-hour detour, or risk my life biking right next to cars and trucks driving 60mph. So I drive like everyone else...
