    Cities are actually better for bikers. I live outside a small town of ~25k. In order to get to downtown I need to drive on two separate highways with no bike lanes, and the commute would take over an hour.

      Yep. In the minor city I went to grad school in, my nearest grocery store was about a kilometer away, but there was a multi-lane split freeway in between, and the nearest crossing point that was accessible by foot or bike was a 20 minute drive away literally on the opposite side of town in the super gentrified downtown area. The nearest grocery store on the same side of the freeway as my building was a whole foods in the downtown area. The only "public transit" in the entire town was a bar hop trolley bus that only ran in the downtown area. This city has about 200,000 people in it.
