Aren't Mormon missionaries prohibited from driving cars? Or is that another religion that rides bikes everywhere?
Depends on the area and also the size of the mission that they're in. Some area's/missions cover a small enough area that a bicycle or walking gets them around fine. Other areas - because they're so big or because of the local environment - you get a car. My brother was in the South Dakota mission which covered (at the time - if I'm remembering this correctly) South Dakota, a chunk of Minnesota and North Dakota -- and given the snow in the winter, they wouldn't have survived without their car (even though it was a clunker that would get stuck in snow drifts all too easily, but still ) He did have his bicycle with him though as there were times in the spring/summer that the weather was nice enough that they could use the bicycles instead.
