As "the wife" I'd like to assert that I DID commute by bike back in grad school in FL, but now in the snow and rain of Kentucky with a job I have to dress up for, I can't ride a bike. My darling husband makes it sound like I'm this car-loving nazi, when, in truth, I am more of a car-hating, tree-hugging, vegetarian.
As to the "one foot from the sidewalk" BS, go out to a road and look at the crap that gathers there. First of all, that is the gutter. You can't ride a bike in the gutter. 2, with all the car-related garbage at that margin, a cyclist cannot safely ride 15-20 mph there.
