This was the question on my mind, is biking not an option in Detroit?
I bike to and back from work daily 14 mile round trip using a cheap 2nd hand city bicycle. Snow and cold only makes it more fun.
Of course, I am lucky that I am doing it by a choice and could take the bus or drive my car.
- maxerickson 12y agoHis round trip would be 46 miles. For me, there's some sort of qualitative difference in a bike ride that goes over something like 10 miles, so I can see why it isn't a first thought for a 23 mile trip.
- venaoy 12y agoNo his round trip is 23 miles. I can't possibly fathom why your first thought to travel 23 miles would be to walk? Biking is OBVIOUSLY so much faster, easier, less straining, etc.
- maxerickson 12y agoGetting to and from his factory job 23 miles away in Rochester Hills, he'll take a bus partway there and partway home. And he'll also walk an astounding 21 miles He walks about 3.5 miles, takes a bus to the edge of its service area, and then walks another 7 miles to the job.
- venaoy 12y agoI meant to write 21 miles (not 23 miles) round trip: "Detroiter James Robertson, 56, walks about 21 miles a day" So he would only have to bike 21 miles per day.
