You can always make choices that make bicycles practical, has been a very good ROI for me, but for the last 70 years many people have made investments based on the premises that bicycles are not practical. With so much sunk capital in something, alternatives might seem impractical.
- viklove 7y agoWhere do you live, SF/LA? In cities like Chicago it's not quite as easy since we have frigid and icy winters that last 4+ months a year.
- emj 7y agoI commuted 6 years by bicycle in Luleå, Sweden. Now I live further south and the best snowfall I get is about a meter thick, sure that's an inconvenience but with good plowing that's no problem. The cold can be an issue, but even at -13F/-25C with proper clothing that is actually preferable for me, I've heard this can be bad in Chicago. A one hour commute in the winter is not for everyone, but dropping by the store 1-4km away is practical.
