I've used 2-wheel vehicles as my primary transportation for most part of my life; human powered or mechanical powered.
Born in a country where 2-wheel vehicle outnumber cars, I used to sit on the tank of my dad's motorcycle with the whole family; by seven, my (10 year older) sister used to carry my other sister (4 year odler) and myself on a 50cc scooter zipping around town. Rain, shine, typhoon weather; that's just how island people get around.

I didn't get my first car until I was 23, before that I used to pedal 30-45 miles daily between school/work/home.
Currently, I'm pedaling about 6-8 miles daily in addition to train ride, or moto 18-20 mile daily.. driving a car during commute usually take 20-40 mins longer, parking the car takes additional 5-15 min to find a parking spot.
Rain, snow.. pedaling is still better.
