I like the human powered vehicles, and horses for heavier loads. Most of us can ride a bike to work faster than a horse could get us there (assuming paved streets) and hardly anyone packs very heavily for one day at work. Leave the briefcase there and just bring the essentials home and back...
I wish I lived a bit closer to where I work. When I lived in a college town, everything was within 5 miles. I didn't have a working car for over 6 months, but it didn't matter except when I wanted to visit my family at home.
Half the time, the bike was faster anyway - no parking garages, meters, plus I could ride right up to the door of where I was headed.
