Not only is cycling a great way to get exercise and fresh air, but it also helps reduce traffic congestion and air pollution

      E-bikes can go 20 mph with low effort so all you have to do is move within 10 miles of work and then you won’t have your stupidly long driving commute anymore where you spend a fortune on vehicle maintenance, gas, and time.

        Ah, then my significant other will have to make the 4 hour commute if I move within 10 miles!

    walking and biking are things that have so many levels of benefit its crazy it is not the norm. As much as europe gets high praise im sometimes amazed by things like dublin not having a metro.

          Yeah, jokes aside if you wanted to do micromobility you’d probably be better off with some sort of motorcycle or if public transit is available, maybe a folding bike/skateboard/scooter for the last mile? A lot of people don’t have the option of public transit either because they straight up don’t have it or the schedule is totally useless when it comes to getting to work on time.

    My friends, why are you even bothering to post here if your response is “I have to drive my car a million miles always?” If your work commute is a million miles, that sucks already for you, I’m sure. But, really, what are you hoping to add here??

    Replacing ANY car trip with a bike trip can be pretty fun and rewarding, if that’s safe for you in your community. Doesn’t have to be a work trip if that doesn’t work for you.

    Part of my commute is in a busy area with a lot of traffic and so I sometimes keep up with traffic or pass them over the course of multiple lights and I can see how frustrated it makes them.

    I do wish that frustration was channeled to the other cars on the road instead of the bike though… A few people have told me that it doesn’t seem fair and I shouldn’t get to cut in line. Yeah, okay, then how about cars can’t pass bikes too then?
