You can hoist a bike over a fence if you need to. You can push it.
And you can abandon it without the financial pain of abandoning a car.
I used to ride a bicycle everywhere, until I realized just how dangerous it is.
The world is full of idiots in cars, some malicious, most just oblivious in air conditioned, road hypnotized comfort.
I have tires with kevlar in them, rubber liners, and slime-filled tubes.
Back about 15 years ago I rode with kevlar belt tires (27x1.25, not fat tire) for a while. Those were the only tires I ever wore out. Most others ended up getting too cut up from road glass.
