Answer:
It’s economical (for 1000$ you can get a good bike, maintenance is approximately 10x cheaper than a car, no gas needed…)
In European cities it's usually faster than public transportation and cars.
Rush hour doesn't make my journey any slower
It's easier to find a parking space than with your car and you can often park closer to the place you want to go
It takes up much less space than cars which is good in a congested city context
If you are not allowed to ride in some place like a pedestrian zone you can most likely walk and push your bicycle through the zone until you are again allowed to ride it which is flexibility
Helps with staying fit and in shape
You can customize it to your needs (add cargo racks, choose your lights, fenders or not and many more options)
No need for a driving license (although it's an advantage to know the traffic laws)
Environment-friendly (no noise, no pollution, less material needed in the production process)
A bicycle that is cared for can last for 20+ years.
