Depends on the state, but biking can be legitimately faster in cities with gridlock traffic. Particularly if there are biking greenways. I unintentionally beat friends back from a beach after they hailed a taxi, and I ebiked the ~3km home. In their defense, the terrain is extremely hilly, and some of them aren't super comfortable on the city ebikes.

I'm in the US, and I bike about 6 miles in to the office; with rush hour traffic, it'd probably take me about that long to drive in. Plus, I get some much needed exercise.
