Can be good. I ride my bike when I can, but my area IS NOT built for it, so it actually pretty risky. Heck some normal routes for me would probably get me stopped by the cops for recklessness.
Here in Stockholm, the congestion tax zone is bordered by the inner ring highway (norra och södra länken), so a trip encountering the congestion tax would have to be between a suburb and downtown Stockholm.
It depends on where you’re coming from and where you’re going. In the closer suburbs, it’s bikable. You could live in Hagastaden and only go to st eriksplan which would only be 1km which is easily walkable. But even if you live in Solna centrum and you’re biking in, it’s at least 3km to get into town, and could go up to 8-10km if you’re going to the other side of town, so that’s about the limit of bikability.
If you’re in a more car focused area further out, like the end of the subway, it’s 10-15 km just to get into town, so you’ll need to take the train.
bicycles are good too, though maybe not for the longer distances that you would put congestion taxes on

Dude should have taken the lane. Single lane roads are extremely safe for bicycles, as long as no one is recklessly passing each other.
In my city of origin, you would get robbed as soon as you jump on the bike or killed if you are from a dangerous area.
How long are those distances?

Thanks for that answer.
I think 10km is a great distance for biking, glad to hear my idea of it seems to match up.
