- vonmoltke 7y agoThat's fine, but that's not the point the OP was making and doesn't do anything about the last mile problem on the other end.
- jakecopp 7y agoI'm posing having two bikes (one a cheapo one) as a solution to not being able to take your bike on the bus/train - solving the the first AND last mile problem.
- wool_gather 7y agoA cheapo bike is not likely to be something that you want to use (and rely on) for your daily commute, though.
- jakecopp 7y agoFair point. Though if the "last mile" commute from the bus stop/train station isn't too far, and in a relatively urban area, you can get an Uber trip in the worst case scenario of the bike breaking and taking the bike to a repair shop the next day. It will likely still be more cost effective than driving all the time because you are unwilling/unable to take a bike on the bus/train.
