    I work in the film industry. I literally wouldn’t be able to get to work with a bike. And that’s not even to mention the fact that Boston is icy and frozen at least 6 months of each year which means that those bike lanes are only really effective for half of the year. Bikes are an absurdly foolish form of transportation in the context of constant blizzards.

      Working a job where you have to go to different locations and carry equipment there is definitely a legitimate reason to have a car, and would be impossible to do on a bike or public transportation. There are many people who work jobs in predictable places that need public transportation, though. Ideally both would be served.
