Meh. I have a cabin in the countryside 130 km away from my apartment and I can cycle the whole way, or take a coach with a foldable bike and pedal the 30 km left.
It's actually in the region where I grew up so I have to get there frequently to see my family. It's a hassle sometimes but it's only because my government can't adequately fund and maintain a decent transit network.
I also bike to national parks nearby, and sometimes haul my inflatable kayak with a bike trailer.
People overestimate distances and think the country side justifies a car but it's usually just excuses. I did move in a big city eventually but I lived in small towns and cities for a decade before that. I still hated cars and didn't have one.
For example, my mother lives on a rural road outside a village of less than 2000 people. And she works in the next town that is 7 km away. Meanwhile I live in a city and work in the same city but I have to bike 9 km to get to work.
So sometimes distances are shorter in smaller cities and towns but people still insist they need a car. People will give any excuse to use their car. It's like cocain.
Also, here Uber is only available in major cities where it's competing with public transit anyway. AFAIK you can't take an Uber to a small town or a rural road.
EDIT: Also, most people DO live in a city anyway. And they still have excuses to use a car.
