Sammy fails to grasp the totality.

By cycling to work everyday the average commuter would deeply inhale so
much carbon monoxide and particulates that long-term health consequences
would be inevitable.

When I cycle, I avoid riding down or even near major traffic arteries
expressly for that reason

Also, there are sociological factors at play.

Unless employers, and other businesses or shops, provide absolutely
secure facilities for locking bicycles, theft would be rampant in
any urban area.  Most cyclist will lock their bikes in a most insecure
fashion.  The standard bike locks are a joke and can be "snipped"
in a matter of seconds by even the dumbest of thieves.
