You are ignoring the amount of time saved from motorized travel
- Eric_WVGG 12y agoIn Portland, Austin, and New York City, I have found it exceptionally rare when friends in a car would arrive at destinations before I would on a bicycle. That only gets flipped when the trips go suburban.
- lkbm 12y agoI bike twelve miles a day in Austin (from UT area to Ben White, and back in the afternoon, going along Congress most of the way). 30-40 minutes. Currently I'm borrowing my friend's motorcycle, and when I ride that instead, it's more like 15-20 minutes, taking I-35. Judging by traffic on the other side of the highway, I'm guess it's because I'm commuting the opposite direction of most people. If you have parking, and traffic isn't terrible where/when you're going, the bicycle is usually slower. But, on the other hand, riding a bicycle is so much more _fun_ than driving a car. Riding a motorcycle can also be fun, but still always doesn't beat a bicycle for me.
- kaitai 12y agoNot if you only have to bike six miles and you have to park 15 minutes from your office.
- malandrew 12y agoIs it really time saved if you still need to find some other activity during the day to perform to stay in shape?
