"5 minute drive"? Buy a bike and chuck out 0600-0700!
- hfsktr 9y agoI very strongly considered it. Or just walking (3 miles). The two hold ups are that I don't want to turn up to work all sweaty (or wet, or frozen etc) and to a lesser extent carrying all my stuff (purse, wallet, coffee, lunch). Also going home for lunch is highly convenient and I really like that nap. I wouldn't have to bike/walk every day of course. I am still considering it (clearly).
- gaving 9y agoI'd certainly try it out for a day or two a week, backpack / jersey pockets for stuff.. easier if you have a locker or showers at your work. Hopefully you wouldn't arrive too sweaty after 3 miles which should take you about ~15 minutesish. Win-win though, exercise and if you get in to it less fuel costs. Could easily clock up 30 miles a week and extend your route on nice days.. no brainer!
- Symbiote 9y agoThe best thing you can do to avoid getting sweaty is use either a basket or pannier bags to carry your stuff.
