Now let's look at the benefits of public transport:

dedicated bus lane exists

I don't think bike qualifies as public transport! Though I suppose it
might if it is hired, or one of those help-yourself schemes that exist
in a few places. Or one of those cycle rickshaw things.

Usually there isn't: for
impromptu, unplanned journeys you don't have to get your bike and helmet out
and resign yourself to a longer journey,

Um, won't you have to get your car out instead?
