And getting into NYC from any of the three major airports is a hassle, though from EWR is less so, oddly enough.
One thing I like about bike commuting is that my travel time is very predictable. This means I don't need to add a buffer of ten minutes or whatever, which saves me time. That's part of the appeal of getting out of cars and badly run public transit.
I don't know, I feel that most people do have choices, which is why they built public transport. I'd wager that roughly 30M people (more than 50% of England) have similar access to London's five big airports and some other local variants. It's probably the same with Germany (I always need to use to Google flights when deciding to my into Munich, Stuttgart or Memmingen.)
Also, I found getting into Manhattan from JFK a piece of cake with the AirTrain and LIRR
why on earth would I mess with anything else.
