The article points out measurable health benefits from having to walk a little to and from bus and metro stops. They totally neglected talking about the advantages of commuting by bicycle though.
It would take a lot to make me switch to a job that I would not be able to reach in half an hour or so on a bike.
- 2T1Qka0rEiPr 8y agoI thought this. As a cyclist, I actually find cycling to work generally very beneficial. Though, now I am a cyclist I think I'd also be reluctant to take a job which I either a) couldn't cycle to, or b) couldn't cycle to within a reasonable time (e.g. 30 minutes as you said). My switch a few years back has been almost universally positive, though I do read less as a result.
- sundvor 8y agoYes! I'm getting old now and I'm never going back to a job where I can't ride. 45 minutes is also good - if you can use dedicated away-from-roads bike paths for the most of it :)
