I always wanted to learn how to ride a bike. Always looked like fun.

Wish it was just that easy to use bikes as transport. Everything feels like 1km far away.

1km is basically nothing by bike?

Be American

Living paycheck to paycheck

Need job

Good worker

Work overtime when needed

Trying to pay off car

Smug biker does a driveby near open car window

Rethink my life

Realize U.S. infrastructure often requires vehicles

In middle of daily 40min commute, one way

Realize the same distance on bike would be two hours

This is why we need good public transit on top of good biking infrastructure. The two working together let's you get anywhere a car can go while not taking a lot longer.

I miss Japan's public transport. Never felt like I needed a car while in the city.

Me unironically wanting to do this

100F outside most of the year because Florida (that's 38C for you europoors)

Have to wake up at 4am before sunset to be able to ride at all

work at 9

Can't into roadbike :(

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (2 children)

It would take me 3 hours to get to work on a bike, and 3 hours home. I’d love to be able to do it, but Vancouver is expensive and I don’t want to waste my free time biking in 30° weather
