I had to drive around 1500km this past weekend in a rented mini-van. I don’t own a car, so that’s probably more distance than I’ve covered in a motor vehicle in the past 5 years.
Today, back home and on my way to work, there was rather torrential rain, but I was still so thankful to be back on the bike.
The big issue with cycling for me is that I work outside and already do physically intensive work so outdoors and exercise aren’t something I’m keen for after I am done with work, even if everything else was perfect. If bus was a proper option then I could go for that for times I don’t have to carry around lots of stuff. Being able to sleep during commute would be nice.
Ah, makes sense. I work a desk job, so getting some exercise is really attractive, otherwise I need to make time elsewhere in my schedule.
If I worked a physical job, I also wouldn’t be interested in cycling to work. In fact, I don’t even really like riding bikes, I just prefer it to driving so I can get exercise at the same time.
