Have never drove any car nor bike before. Working with a clutch was hell. Been able to start only after 5th try, and stalled a lot. But overall was fun, eager to get license.

    Excuse me, did you mean “All The Gear, All The Time”? I am not good at bike terminology yet.

    I absolutely agree with your statement. I made a bit different conclusion. You will find motorcycle helpful or reasonable when total time spent is less than in other transport. And the time includes all the parking troubles, safety gears, and so on.

    So I have like a table in my head, based on distance:

    1. 500 meters or less - walking
    2. 500 up to 2000 meters - cycling (because it is also requiring locking, helmet and so on)
    3. 2km and above is for motorcycle

    I don’t have a car, but it wiil win a motorcycle in most cases I guess. Only fails to bike in rush hours. But that is a reasonable part, in reality bikes are also super fun and great toy. It’s okay its not reasonable for a mile trip, doesn’t mean atgatt is wrong, just means bike is not for that purpose.
