Bikes are more popular here in villages for short distances than they are in the burbs, despite the hills.
There used to be two brothers who owned a strawberry farm down the street and they rode their bikes from their city apartment to the farm out in the "boonies " ( about 15 miles) every day until each of them dropped dead. Neither ever owned a car. It could be pouring rain and they wouldn't accept a ride.
Got to watch out for all ages of peoples riding bikes even in the snow around here. Especially with no lights of any sort at night.
