commute by bike. 3 hours in the car every day is brutal.
- grogenaut 10y ago3 hours by car is likely minimum 60 miles which is 4 hours by bike every single day minimum. If they're getting to highway speeds at all then it's even worse. It'd be like black mirror episode 2 every day
- NinoScript 10y agoUnless a big portion of those 3 hours are spent in traffic jams, then bike could be an option, or at least an e-bike.
- randomdata 10y agoOther than it was stated that he lives quite far from work.
- quicklime 10y agoAnother way of thinking about this is that the marginal cost of biking is only 1 extra hour per day. And there's no reason why this needs to be done every day - he could just bike in once a week.
- grogenaut 10y agoHe's already complaining about the actual cost. If he manages 60mph the whole time are you saying he should do 180 miles once a week? That's not really possible without a lot of training. What if he lives in issaquah and commutes to Seattle. How about on the oil fields in nd? Bigger question what else does he do to better himself during the bike rides?
