Do not forgot that people also conflate cyclists and commuters. A cyclist might be going really fast, but most commuters go along at a gentler pace.
Even so, I so wish more people realised how on point your words are.
In Sydney getting on a bike is almost a death sentence. For a place with zero snow, it's shocking how scary it is.
- lupire 4y agoIn US commuters are mainly fast cyclists because they have to cover a long distance.
- milkytron 4y agoI think this depends, and I'd like to see numbers on it. When I commuted by bike to work, I would go at a gentle pace so that I didn't end up drenched in sweat. Lots of my coworkers also just cruised in and very few of them showered at the office after arriving. I think in cities, bike commuters generally just try to go at a safe speed that isn't too exhausting. The furthest anyone in my office rode one way was about 10 miles, and that guy hustled and did competitions. He certainly was the outlier.
- john_the_writer 4y agoI base most of my speculations on "not just bikes" videos. Well and that I used to bike to work, and took my time (after I got used to the trip).. It was about 8 miles.. If I'd have had an E-bike, I would have gone about the same speed, but with less sweat.
