Been doing it for 4 weeks now. Planned to do it this summer for weight loss, but when my car started acting up beyond what I already knew was a repair bill , so I was like....fux it. Despite taking longer to get in, I feel more relaxed mentally, even if I'm sweating my arse off. No more jockeying for position, or getting stuck behind people holding the passing lane at 10 under the limit, just me, the road, and the scenery...and the same old red lights you'll curse anyway. Oh...and one nasty hill on the ride home, that has taught me the importance of checking where the wind will blow from ;) This all said with the caveat that there is public transportation as an option in my case, that can haul both me and my bike. A plan b is important ;)

IM YOU FROM THE FUTURE

I'm a 60 yr old pensioner. Bought a 3×7 beginners' bike in November, 21. I wanted to try how I can ride a bike at 60 after a break of 40yrs... But, now, surprisingly I feel great, physically fit, ride 20 km/day in our bicycle hostile town (Trivandrum) and, ultimately, have plans to upgrade my bike to a Trek Verve 2... !!! 😃

@Michael hey which ebike did you go with? I'm looking at that option too bike route is 14 miles to work

Hope it is going well. I have found that I am too tired to ride the 22 miles round trip every day. So I switched to an e-bike

The last time you will ever drive a car???

I guarantee you’ve driven your car since this comment.

I hope to do the same one day. I already bike to work, but there is little to no public transit in my area and I don't want to have to bug my parents for car rides. One day if I move to an area with better trains and buses I can make it work I'm certain.

I appreciate you! What a valuable and sustainable decision !!👍

Lawsuits But money for your injuries man ! More money

@Colin Java This is why work that has showers in it with closets is the best

I have to change my shirt when I get to work from cycling, and I wash my back a little as it gets sweaty from rucksack. I wouldn't wanna be doing that if I was working in an office really. Also, when it rains, or when it's freezing cold, being on a bike is horrible. I just put up with it though.

@SirDella colaborate

@Tina Loye Cars are uncomfortable too... Narrow streets, people cutting you off, slamming brake checks. Not fun! I think bicycles are comfortable when you get the right fit. Not just any Walmart bike, but a bike designed to fit you. Expect to spend at least $400/$600 for something entry level that will suit you. The rest of us need to lobby for bicycle infastructure that displaces the car in our cities, thus making our cities walkable again! Thanks!

@SirDella It’s an uncomfortable experience but the benefit outweighs the discomfort....

Why the hate?

40 min ride. not a big deal.

@Preston Cade ok 👍 bro

See a Poncho (of rain), there's some videos on TRshow. I buy mine last week, but I didn't have the opportunity to use it yet.

Do you know how many people die in cars every day?

@Andrew Sneacker did what you told me and there's still too many thugs... and now loose dogs as well.

Plan a better route.

Thanks to car infrastructure.

60% of all people who drove by bike to work missed commuting during tje pandemic, while from the people who commuted by car it was only 20% who missed it. People who commute by bike are prooven to have on average a more enjoyable expirience. Dogs can get transported by bike too, there are dog holders for bike. You can useearplugs as stereo, but you dont even need them because during biking you arent constantly bored like it is the case with driving, because you actually have something to do
