In Boston because of traffic, even with dedicated bus lanes, bikes and/or electric scooters were always faster than public transit. Only downside was in the winter when bike lanes and sidewalks were covered in snow / ice.
- nine_k 7y agoAnother downside of a bike is that you arrive covered by sweat if you try to ride faster than public transit in the summer. An electric bike solves this, of course.
- algaeontoast 7y agoAgreed, my office had a shower and it was still a hassle. 1) there was only one shower per bathroom, which meant if anyone else decided to ride their bike to work or go for a jog there'd be a 30min queue for the shower 2) even if there wasn't any wait - it still takes 20min minimum to shower and change before work 3) it's dangerous AF to ride a bike in adverse conditions like snow or cold rain around cars (never-mind frost-bite / injuries involved with slipping on ice)
