Try hauling 50 lbs of tools and an acetelyne tank on a bike (I worked in plumbing)
Also, a hard hat doesn't substitute for a bike helmet...
100% true, at least in my 40+ years probably over 600 jobs in heavy construction
not one person ever showed up on a bike... I actually thought of doing that a few times and did ride my bike to the job site to test out the feasibility of me riding to work and time wise it would have worked on some jobs but then I thought of the trip home after a 10 or 12 Hr day (normally on most jobs), still would have worked... But then I thought of the ride home after another 2 or 4 Hrs+ of overtime which was common and expected... So, no, I never rode my bike to work...
