Trains and bikes are much more inconvenient. Though bikes are good for close proximity.

    There are bikes that have motors, it helps reach further away locations.

    I find the opposite to be true. Taking a train is so much more convenient. Don't have to find a place to park, don't have to do any work to get there. Just sit down and wait

    Bikes are nice because I don't have to worry about traffic much, and generally parking isn't an issue

    Cars are really inconvenient. You have a gigantic vehicle that you have to navigate around many other vehicles, then find a parking spot, usually not close to where you're actually going

    Finding a place to park a car is inconvenient, but locking up a bike somewhere isn't?

    And you must live within walking distance of a train.

    Or they just take a bus? It's crazy to think about, but not all buses are US and Canadian ones that come every hour and take two hours and five connections to get you to the station.

    Also, locking up a bike is comparatively very easy to parking a car. The only reason car parking is often easy in North American cities is because of ridiculous, overinflated parking minimums that subsidize car ownership through free storage for giant metal boxes, blanket the landscape in otherwise-useless asphalt, and vastly increase the distances between locations for the people not using cars (including from, say, your house to the train station).
