This is indeed true to an incredible degree. This Sunday I rode my bicycle to church. As I neared church, I saw someone pull out of their driveway, and drive their car 1/4 of a city block to church! That was only about six houses away from their own house!
Ironically, I bicycled six miles to the same church. So the guy who lives the farthest bicycles and the person who lives closest takes a car. Welcome to the USA.
