I think this is what happens when you have giant auto-centric blocks, things which don't look too far away are actually pretty far to walk.
Of course biking this distance would be no problem at all if the infrastructure was there.
For anyone in moderately good physical condition (or better), 1050m is only about a 10 minutes' walk, which really shouldn't be that onerous if transit is otherwise convenient. Surely quicker to just walk that distance than walking to a bike room, unlocking the bike, walking outside, riding to the station, finding a parking spot, locking the bike and walking to the stop itself.
