Why would I ride my bicycle anywhere when I have a car?

Not sure the intent of the question. Is the pen the car or the bicycle?

To me bicycles are for health and for short distances. Cars are for heavy objects and long distances.

I used to ride bicycles to the train station, then get a train to another city and ride it on the other side. Which kind of alters that.

Essentially for me at least, bicycles and cars have entirely different uses.

A pen on the other hand, is just a worse version of a keyboard. Unless I'm signing a document. Though as the years pass, that is increasingly done digitally and often doesn't even involve hand movements that anywhere near resemble pen use.
