This is often the case here also. People who feel sorry for us carfree/carlight folks don't understand that we actually don't spend much more time in transit than they do in their cars! For years, I had a four mile commute to work. By the time I got the car out of the garage, and parked it at the other end, it took just as long as riding the bike--about 15 minutes. But people at work would often say something like, "I could never ride a bike to work like that...OMG, four miles!!!" I tried to explain that four miles is just not a very large distance on a bike, in terms of time or exertion, but I don't think they were ever convinced.
