You make a valid point.  But then we will have to provide showers
and places to change.  And it will raise that "time of commute"
some, particularly if we include all the changing and showering.
And of course, it will be good for people.  So of course we will
need to force it on them, otherwise they won't go for it.  But
hey, all good plans have a few little drawbacks and side effects.
But we can't let a little matter of force stand in the way of
what we know is right for them.  Still, I am not opposed to the
building of more bikeways, if you can figure out how to make the
bikers pay for them.  I like bicycles.  I even have one.  But I'd
like to keep my car, too, if that's OK with you.
