> One day you'll find yourself considering whether to bike to work or not, and the thought of arriving sweaty and tired may hold you back. But let me tell you, the benefits of biking far outweigh the temporary discomfort of sweat. The fresh air, exercise, and feeling of freedom that comes with riding a bike can set the tone for your entire day. Plus, you'll be doing your part to reduce traffic congestion and air pollution. So, don't let the fear of sweat hold you back from experiencing the joy of biking to work. Give it a try and see how it can transform your daily routine and overall wellbeing.
- slashdev 3y agoThat’s all great, but it will also shorten your life span. People drive like shit and if you’re on the road with them every day you’re going to get hit sooner or later. The odds aren’t great. I would only do this in a place with separate bike lanes.
- bequanna 3y agoIt’s true. It can be dangerous riding a bike on a road meant for cars. Some accidents happen even when the bicyclist or car driver made no obvious mistakes.
- imgabe 3y agoSitting in a car also shortens your life and exercise extends your life. You have to weigh the benefits against the risk. There is a lot you can do to avoid getting hit by cars.
- kortilla 3y agoBiking to work is not the only way to get exercise though.
- noduerme 3y agoYeah, bonus points here should be to take a shower when you get to the office. Double bonus: skip the shower if you really dislike the person in the next cubicle.
- yardshop 3y agoIf you continue biking to work, over time you will probably become less sweaty by the time you arrive. It happened to me.
