Here is another reason. I can't afford a reasonable sized apartment that can house my family near my work. So I have to travel further. Bikes are great for cities if you can afford to live in the city.

Also, what happens when it snows and you gotta get to work? Snow chains?

Nothing stops you from commuting by bike. My best friend commutes over 40km by bike every day. Due to eternal traffic jams he's not even much slower than going by car, he also almost gets to go in a straight line rather than following highways. Get out of that US centric mindset and realize a lot more is possible by bike than you might think.
