People love the idea like they love the idea of getting in shape or learning a new skill. The vast majority who love the idea hate the slightest inconvenience and effort required. You'll get excuses by the bucketload why it just won't work for them.
People say one thing and do the opposite. It's just the way of the world.
- bluGill 6y agoI found that living where there is a non-car option increased my physical fitness. Instead of knowing I should exercise but making an excuse I just walked to the bus stop every day. This was just a couple blocks needed to get to the offices, but a lot more walking than I'd do before because it no longer was something special to do it. Too bad I've been transferred to a different office now, one with not transit and nothing in walking distances.
- paulcole 6y agoFrom a very young age I made the decision to never drive. No clue why but I was just like “this seems dumb” and went with it. Now I’m nearly 40 and the positives have definitely outweighed the negatives. For example, I’ve never had a commute longer than 20 minutes by bicycle. Honestly one of the only good decisions I’ve ever made.
