Does the handful of bike lanes always take you "within steps" of your destination?
In terms of speed, frequency, routes and emissions, our network of public transportation does a reasonably good job of transporting persons into the downtown core within a few blocks of their exact destinations. To demand more than that when it entails harm to established businesses and the families whose livelihoods depend on them is, I think, unreasonable.

As I said, there are plenty of places where one can exercise without adversely affecting established businesses. Moreover, if health and exercise are important factors, then why must you be delivered "within steps" of your destination? Why are you adverse to walking a few blocks to a bus or skytrain station when walking is a beneficial form of exercise?
