Like Yetanfou I use a motorbike to get to and from work (no sidecar though, maybe in the future for winter riding!). I absolutely love to air out (literally) my head on the ride home every day. I get home totally relaxed.
This is probably helped by the fact that the activity of riding a motorcycle is much more demanding than some other forms of transport this mainly because of all the cars that are actively trying to assassinate you daily!
Because of this focus it is much easier and actually important to let go of work-related things!
- gruseom 13y agoI love motorcyles and motorcycle-commuted for years, and yes—it sure beats driving a car. But it's not a counterexample here! There is no comparison to walking or biking, especially to work. As I said above, the effect is astonishing. If I'm walking or biking somewhere, especially anywhere work-related, it feels so damn good. If I know that in the past I'd have been doing it in a car, it feels twice as good. If I see lots of other people in cars trying to do the same thing, I have the moral problem of trying to control my schadenfreude. The one exception I'd make for automated vehicles, but it's only a partial exception, is trains. As someone once quoted on HN: "Everybody hates buses and everybody loves trains." Trains don't have the quality of walking or bicycling, but they have some other lesser quality that still feels pretty good. Well, maybe motorcycles and trains are tied for second. :)
