Previously, when I lived in my home town, Jakarta, Indonesia, yes, using bike is practical and economical. Traffic is so bad so that if cars and public transport (not reliable) are used, people spent many hours commuting, while using bike can cut at least 50% of the travel time. Some who live in the suburbs and go to work in downtown area get to see their children in weekend only, because during weekday they go to work before the children wake up in the morning and they come home after the children are asleep in the evening. That's how bad the traffic in Jakarta is. So I used bike then for both practical & economical (Time is money. More time spent on commuting, more gas spent) and, of course, fun.
