You (or your society) conditioned your schedule to the car. That has been scientifically studied. People generally accept a journey to work of 30min to 1hr. If they only have their two feet, they settle accordingly. If a train is involved or a car, the urban infrastructure follows.
So cars are not the meaning of freedom, you (and we all) just built your schedule around it.
So a bike would be just as fast on your schedule (and it is).

Freedom in this context doesn’t seem to make sense because cars are a convenience in a car-centric urban area.
The convenience is what gives freedom, not inherently the transport itself.
