9 reasons not to commute by bike

[Tri Girl]

Love it! That was great!! I sense a little sarcasm, although I *could* be wrong...
I will admit that since coming back from Spring Break, I've only commuted once by bike. I need to get back into the habit.

+1. I know cycle commuting is not everybody's cup of tea and that's fair enough. This is so much more effective (not to mention amusing) than a lot of the stuff I've seen aimed at encouraging people to cycle to work. Thanks for posting.

Hilarious! Just for fun I used google bike maps to find a way into work. It took me straight through a gang invested neighborhood. I revised it to go up and around and the trip is 30 miles one way. I just can't see it happening. I do plan on driving part way and biking the rest. I think that could make me happy and save a little gas.

I guess I don't think it's that funny. It's kind of condescending, really. Appearance, in particular, can be a pretty legitimate problem if you have no way to shower and a shared bathroom. I feel fortunate that in our satellite office no one cares what I look (or smell) like, but I probably couldn't bike to work if I was in our corporate space.

That was rather entertaining.

I dunno if I could give up sitting in traffic either and then getting to school in the same or LONGER amount of time if I had ridden. THAT's just crazy but I'm not joking. Takes me LONGER some days to drive
